Staff in preparation, and I should not

hesitate to do so,

if the Premier had

reason in dealing with

the present duties of his Office. On that

subject I may possibly have to address a

separate

communication to you.

26.

Enclosure

I send herewith copy of the Memorial with

printed copies of the signatures thereto, taken from a pamphlet published these

few days. Of that list I may say that I would venture to say that all

the men in it were

seen and frised, if any absent, because it doubtless

would be

numerous and hide any multitude in favour of a

measure, if the proposed general support in the first instance.

29. I regret extremely that sudden illness of the Attorney General and his abrupt departure on short leave by

medical advice must prevent my

sending a copy of his opinion

on the

Ordinance till his return.

I have the honour to be,

Your Lordships'

Most obedient servant,

Philip Crampton Smalley

Administrator (acting for the Governor).
