The minute of the hon. the Chief Secretary, dated 23 May,1 reached me on Queens Birthday. Gardener W. Smith has not made his appearance since, though on a former similar occasion he came back on his own accord. I have given to day orders to the Inspector of forests, that W. Smith is to be re-employed on former terms in the Gov. House Reserve.
