d within it a joiner's and a blacksmith's shop, with sheds for the vessels while repairing, and for the workmen; with a steamer, a storehouse, a warder's lodge, and an apartment for the clerk. Build a commodious stone-house, near the naval yard, for the master boat-builder. Began and nearly finished a handsome and commodious stone gaol at Sydney; with separate apartments for debtors, and six strong and secure cells for condemned felons. A large and elegant government house was erected at Parramatta, the first being too small, and the framing so much gone to decay that the roof fell in. The present building is spacious and roomy, with cellars and an attic storey. Built a neat thatched hut in the government garden at Parramatta, for the gardener. Built a new dispensary, and removed the pannelled hospital to a more convenient situation, raising it upon a stone foundation. At the same time was erected a new hospital store. Prepared the foundation of a new powder magazine. Raised a frame, and thatched the roof of an open barn at the Ninety Acres, and laid a threshing floor. Fenced and surrounded the military barracks with lofty paling. Paled in a cooperage adjoining the provision store at Sydney. Cleansed from filth the public tanks at the same place, and surrounded them and the spring-head with paling. Enlarged by a scalene building running the whole length of each house, the dwellings of the principal surgeon, the senior assistant-surgeon, and the deputy-surveyor; which gave an additional accommodation of two rooms to each house. Built a military hospital and dispensary at Sydney, and an officer's guard room at the main guard. Built sheds for the boats belonging to government when hauled on shore. Repaired a house for a school at Sydney, plastered, white-washed, and coated it with lime. Erected houses within the precincts of the hospital at Sydney, for the nurses and attendants while on duty. Laid a new foundation, rebuilt part of the walls, and completely repaired the wet provision store at Parramatta, it being in a very ruinous condition. Enclosed several stock yards for cattle, and repaired the old sheds at Parramatta, Toongabbie, and Portland Place. In the latter district, the timber of 120 acres was cut down, and nearly half (that of 50 acres) burnt off, a small township marked out, and a few huts built. Raised also a variety of inferior buildings. The inclosures of the park
