General and the chief Magistrate- With reference to this last named officer I take the opportunity to suggest that in future his designation be the Police Magistrate, as his present style is an evident misnomer.

Class Fifth would comprise the Colonial Surgeon, the Clerk of Councils, the Registrar General, and the Harbor Master; and I recommend that to them be added the Assistant Police Magistrate.

I hope I am right in reading "Councils of Government" in third paragraph as those councils which under different title exercise the functions of an Executive council; as well as in assuming that the two enclosures noticed in your last paragraph as the Lord Chamberlain's regulation Book of Uniforms received with your Despatch now under acknowledgment.
