Mr. Alexander à Pagueton, the Sub-Inspector of Police, is well & has a salary of £1000 a year. He has been very useful in all ways and has acted as Judge, and has had a lot of experience in various duties.
In the service, he has twice acted as Colonial Treasurer and once as Chief Clerk. Whether his duties have been satisfactory or not, it is certain that he has afforded great assistance.
I hardly think it would be well to afford the Court to be also Treasurer, as the Supreme Court is already a big apparatus.
Mr. Alexander would not have cared to be Treasurer at the salary of £200 per year. But if Lord Kimberley were to recognize Mr. Alexander's merits (as the Pacific Station joins in bearing high testimony to them), it may be observed in making these appointments that Lord Kimberley regretted that the circumstances did not afford an opportunity of placing Mr. Alexander, whose local experience would have been of value, upon the Legislative Council; and, if he deems it desirable, will not object to the issue of a warrant appointing Mr. A. personally, not in virtue of his office, as a Member of the Council.
It may be well not to hurt the feelings of Mr.Donnell by selection. I approve April 14/72.
