That is conveyed in the Colonial Secretary's letter copy of which accompanies this despatch.
The usual Certificates required by regulation are enclosed.
I learn from the copy he has furnished of a letter addressed to your Excellency and dated 29th February 1860.
Upon it I have to remark that the office of Harbour Master, Emigration Officer and Marine Magistrate requires much activity and energy both of mind and body, and that the broken state of Mr Inglis' health incapacitates him for the performance of the duties attached to it.
Although he be not strictly entitled to an Pension I hope that Mr Inglis' application will be favourably considered by Your Excellency.
