E—No. 9 Sec. I.

Furiher suggestions to be made for tlie filling up the different offices occasioned by resignation, dismissal, death, or other causes, will form the subject of another letter, to be submitted when the whole machinery shall be brought into action. I beg to close the present report by submitting that it appears to me from the whole tenor of Native remarks, that it would be advisable to make the salaries of all the chiefs equal, and that it should be fixed at Forty Pounds (£4O) per annum. The expenses attending assembling ot the chiefs for iheir first Runanga might thus partly be met by this arrangement. I haye, &c, George Clarke, The Hon the Native Minister. Civil Commissioner.
