Sir Edward Smith Lees has held the office of Secretary from the year 1801, having been appointed by patent, dated the 25th March of that year, as joint Secretary with Mr.
John Lees, his father, and the terms of the patent conferring a benefit of survivorship, he has continued sole Secretary from the death of his father.
The official return in the Appendix contains a summary of the ordinary duties of the Secretary, and to this summary we beg to refer, as giving, in reference to the duties of the corresponding office of the Department in England, a sufficiently accurate description of the duties of Secretary to the Irish-Office.
In former Reports we have observed upon the general importance of the duties of Secretary to a Revenue Board, as being the official organ of communication of such Board, and the person through whose agency the executive business with which it is charged is principally performed.
This observation applies with pecu-liar force to the Department now under consideration, which is officially described as being under the direction of a Board, and in which the Secretary must be con-sidered not only as discharging the duties belonging to officers of the same class in 353-* B4 the
Appendix, No 3
No.
