Prospects of the Mint established here.
The principal remarks which I have to make on Sir Hercules Robinson's defence, is that it appears to be intended chiefly to discuss the sufficiency of the reasons, which induced the projectors of the Mint to recommend its construction.
2. I would be very sorry if Your Grace should imagine me disposed to impugn the sufficiency of those reasons. I am bound to the best of my ability to give my opinions to Her Majesty's Government on all subjects connected with the Colony, but I am well aware of the disadvantage I labour under of often having to give opinions on subjects with which I have not been familiar.
3. I only contend that I am in a position to say that the Mint is not patronised to a paying extent by the public, and as Sir Hercules himself formerly said, if the Mint does not pay, it should be closed, I now say the same thing.
4. It is time also that I do not consider Sir Hercules Robinson's fresh observation adequate.
