14 July 1858
With reference to your Report for June
in which you recommend that the office of "Bailiff" connected with the Garden be
abolished I am to inform you that there is no such appointment in the Estimates as
that of
Bailiff
— The man you allude to must be paid as a Gardener or Laborer & as you have the entire
control of this class you require no authority from this office to enable you to carry
out the arrangement you propose.
