I have thought it necessary, pending the receipt of a definite opinion from my legal adviser, to inform Mr. Wise that he will not be required to act as proposed and to place Mr. Gompertz, who is a barrister of 7 years' standing, in the acting appointment.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Nathan
Governor, &c.
