unofficial member of the Legislative Council in the place of Mr. Phineas Ryrie
who died on the 22nd instant.
2.
Mr Belilios is a
gentleman of large fortune, and has previously, during the administration of dir John Pope Hennessy, acted for several months as a member of Council. The
interest that he takes in education, and the munificent gifts that he
has
has made to further it, are well known to Your Lordship, and I feel
sure that he~
an
will prove to be independent and useful
addition to the Council.
I trust that his
3.
appointment may be
confirmed.
I have the honour to be,
Your
My Lord,
Kur Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant, Wittem Roberg
