Now as regards the first point the private Secretary here (more correctly speaking the Aide or Camp) has no Office of Deposit and his duties are almost strictly confined to ceremonial routine in affairs that affect foreign visitors and the Society of the place. Such public ontics therefore of a confidential native as I take to be here referred to have been invariably recorded by the Colonial Secretary when Office is necessarily an Office of Deposit Public papers of all descriptions.

I hope I am right if not I shall receive special instructions I delay to alter or interfere with the practice that has always existed here since the Government of the Colony was organized.

9.
Lastly with reference to Communication with the Commanders of Foreign Men of War, the rule as laid down in Colonial Office Circular of 8th July 1856 has ever since been followed here, and the Consul or Consular Agent of a Foreign Country has always been made by the Colonial Secretary the Medium of Communication with the Commander of the National Ship.

I have the honour to be,

Most Obedient servant,
