have found already established.
In the case of such new Offices there will always be more than usual reason to anticipate that an appoint- ment will be made directly from this country,
71. Appointments of gentlemen connected with the Governor, or who have accompanied
him to the Colony as Private Secretaries or otherwise, are open to much objection, and will rarely be confirmed. Provisional appointments of this kind should be reported to the Secretary of State without any recommendation as to the mode in which
the Office shall be permanently filled. Should such an appoint- ment be made at a time when a Governor is about to leave the Colony, his Successor will he expected to report on the mode in which the Office should be permanently filler.
72. It is further to be understood, that, in letermining the propriety of appointments 'rom this country or from the Colony, regard will probably be had to the comparatively udvanced state of wealth and population in ach Colony, and to the number of properly qualified candidates among whom the Local Authorities may have the opportunity of naking a selection.
73. In the distribution of the patronage of he Government in the Colonies, great weight
nust always be attached to local services and xperience. Every Governor will therefore anke, once in each year, a Confidential Report f the claims of Candidates, whether already mployed in the Public Service or not, whom e may consider to possess those qualifications, order that, when a vacancy or an opportunity or promotion occurs, the Secretary of State may have before him additional means, besides he immediate recommendation of the Governor, or judging how far the particular Candidate ecommended by the Governor is on the hole the best qualified, and whether a andidate of proper qualifications is to be und in that or in any other Colony. The overnor will ascertain and report upon the alifications of other Candidates, of whom may have less knowledge, when he sees fficient reason for supposing that the Public ervice night gain by their admission into it; it in the application of these Rules much ust be left to the Governor's discretion.
