my case to the favorable notice of the Lords of the Treasury.

With reference also to the Clerk which I proposed should be sent from England, I have the honor most respectfully to represent that the Earl of Clarendon in his despatch to Sir John Bowring (No. 196 of 8th Sept: 1857), in consequence of which the Auditor's Office was established, fully foresaw the necessity for providing me with sufficient clerical assistance, and although in the first instance an Auditor and one Clerk were alone sent out, yet Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, in conjunction with the Governor of the Colony, was authorized to pay for such further aid as might be required.

In the Colonial Department it has been found necessary to retain the exclusive services of one Clerk at £300 per annum, and therefore in applying to the Foreign Office for a similar allowance I was only carrying out the terms of the original despatch, with perhaps this distinction, that I preferred having a person sent direct from England.
