this responsibility is at the request of the Governor and because the men so transferred are required for the police,

consequently the Civil Service

and

of the Colony.

It appears under these circumstances to the Major General desirable, that the Expense should in the first instance, fall upon the

very

Civil Government, with whatever Department it may ultimately rest.

At the same time it is of great importance to the Major General that the grounds of the measure should be made fully apparent to the Commander in Chief at home, and he will feel therefore much obliged if His Excellency will cause a letter to be written to him, placing His Excellency's wishes and the necessities

of the Colony on record, in order that the Major General may stand absolved in the Eye of his military superiors for any departure from the prescribed Regulations.

I have be,

(Signed) Henry D'Aguilar.
