return of all offences reported during the last month, by which your
Honor will perceive, that no increase of 'breach of contract' has

able to form in relation to the behavior of the laboring population,

co-operation of the community, I sincerely hope, that no obstacles
or interruptions will now present themselves, to disturb that
general good understanding so happily established, since the
