Duke

he was suggested by the Duke of Newcastle to be nominated

to the office of Colonial Secretary as in that capacity he might have been called upon

to exercise

the Supreme functions of Government (should the Governor and Lieutenant Governor be absent or

As regards Mr Phineascher

I desire to bear the most emphatic testimony to the great value of his Services and to his untiring and
