If not, I am at a loss how to act, for your circular only this day to hand specifies tomorrow the 15th (Sunday) as the last day for such appointment to be made, and in a addition to the impracticability in this extensive district of recalling the collectors now out on their respective duties I shall not be able until Saturday next the 21: inst to put myself in communication with the Magistrates of the district.

Your assurance, therefore, that the course adopted so far by the Bench with the proposed hereafter rectification of the list and revision is correct will much oblige me.

And I have the honor to remain Sir Your obed S. R.J.H.Fotheringham C.P.S.
