Sir.Peel, in the course of a gene ral
discussion on .. affairs, raised this
question of the transfer of the telegraph
services.
e is much exercised by the delay which
has occurred, which he says is very incon- venient to the Colony, where improved
telegraph services are urgently required.
e hinted at abandoning the negotiations
and providing improved services at the ex-
pense of Colonial funds. .h. is in the
exceptional position of being able to
afford such expenditure.
I gave him from memory the substance of
our tel. of 3th une, of which I have now
sent him a copy.
