His Honour Judge Bridges shall act as Colonial Secretary, and I consider him the best person for selection because of his knowledge of the Colony and recent lengthened leave under this Government.

Mr Bridges has stipulated that he be not expected to resign his practice as a Barrister in the Supreme Court, and to this I have agreed as I do not consider continuing his professional pursuits an insuperable objection to his appointment when many other considerations strongly recommend the proposed arrangement.

166

The duties of Auditor General will be conducted till further orders by Mr. Reinhard, the Audit Clerk.

I trust that these arrangements, the best that after much consideration I can make, will secure your approval and confirmation.

I have the honor to be, with the highest respect,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Humble Servant,
W. H. Kennedy
