during the past four months, while the Honourable, W. H. Marsh was Administrator of the Government,) each provisionally acted as Treasurer and Registrar-General, in the place of Mr. Russell - Further Captain H. G. Rennell, R.N., the Harbour Master, has been, in similar conditions, appointed to act temporarily as Police Magistrate, (in the place of Dr. Stewart,) in addition to his proper duties.
5. I have taken an early opportunity of addressing Your Lordship on the subject of these provisional appointments.
In consequence of my very recent arrival here, it would be premature to submit any recommendations respecting the manner in which it may appear desirable to make any permanent arrangements in consequence of the much regretted death of Mr. Justice Snowdon.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Servant,
S. T. Bowen
