Assistant Treasurer and Assessor in the third class. It is
very desirable that there should be a Cadet Officer in the
Treasury to perform the duties of Treasurer during the temporary absence of the Head of the Department and who would
also do the work of Assessor, the present post of Assessor
being abolished.
The fifth new post is the Assistant
Superintendent of Imports and Experts. This post has already
formed the subject of correspondence with the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, as noted in the margin, and is
eminently one which should be filled by a Cadet Officer.

I propose to address Your Lordship as
regards the officers in Part II of the sterling scheme, and
as regards non-European subordinates in another Despatch. In the meantime I enclose six more copies of the report.
