With reference to Mr. Amery's despatch No.
202 of the 8th June, 1928, I have the honour to inform
you that I have, provisionally and subject to His
Majesty's pleasure, appointed the Honourable Sir W..L.
Shenton to be an unofficial member of the Executive
Council for a further term of five years with effect
from the 3rd April, 1933.
2.
A copy of the instrument appointing Sir
W.E.L. Shenton is enclosed.
3.
In accordance with Colonial Regulation 175
I enclose also a list of the present members of
Executive Council.
4.
I much regret that in making Acting Appoint-
ments to the Executive and Legislative Councils to take
effect during Sir William Shenton's absence from the
Colony from April 1933 to February 1934, the fact that
his term of office on the Executive Council had expired
was overlooked.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Live
Governor, &c.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
¿C.,
