I am not, however, prepared to recommend to the Legislative Council that Mr. Wodehouse should be placed on the permanent Staff of the Police Force, for that Staff is already too large and the whole cost of the Police so great that I do not think it would be favourably entertained. Until, therefore, there is a vacancy on the Staff, he must remain an Officer temporarily attached to the Force.

This recommendation falls, I apprehend, within Your Lordship's instructions as to the purposes for which the Special Fund is to be devoted, and if Your Lordship assents to it, I would suggest that the allowance should commence from the date of Mr. Wodehouse's appointment to the Police - 1st March 1872 - as a
