APPENDIX. 163 



That work should now no longer be delayed ; 

 and they recommend that a comfortable weather- 

 boarded cottage should be built with all possible 

 ■dispatch for the accommodation of Mr. Eamsbottom 

 and his famUy. ^ 



The thanks of the Commissioners are due to E. 

 Eead, Esquire, for his kind hospitality in receiving 

 Mr. Eamsbottom (who must otherwise have lived 

 in a tent) into his house at Eedlands. 



The salary hitherto paid to Mr. Eamsbottom for 

 his services has been very small, and is, in the 

 opinion of the Commissioners, no longer commen- 

 surate with the duties entrusted to him. 



On this subject they will further address Your 

 Excellency's Government in a separate communi- 

 cation.
