that Mr Deane would act as Colonial Secretary during Mr. Fleming's absence, I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that Mr. Deane has been obliged to resign that appointment owing to ill health.
2. M. Deane suffered severely from fever during last summer, and the hot weather has now brought back the disease.
It is hoped that in the course of a few days he will be sufficiently recovered to enable him to attend to such of his duties as can be done indoors. But as his medical adviser will not permit him to leave the house for the present, his outdoor duties will have to be performed by the Deputy Superintendent of Police.
