Copy.

No. 25.

Sir,

Victoria College,

7th March, 1890.

I have the honour to apply for permission,

90

to withdraw my letter to the Secretary of State (CSU204)

on the subject of the examination of this College, and to

beg that His Excellency may be pleased to consider and deal

with the subject, as if that letter had been sent through

the Colonial Secretary for His Excellency's information.

I have made a careful search for details

concerning the past dealing with the question and find that

(1) Sir Michael Hicks Beach decided (Govt. Gazette

1880, p74) that the Inspector of Schools should have nothing

to do with the Central School.

(2) After Dr. Stewart's transfer to the Magistracy

Earl Kimberley appointed Dr. Eitel to inspect Central School

(Gazette 1881, p.1010) at a time when the new Head Master

had not arrived.

(3) On my arrival Sir J. Pope Hennessy wrote

(CSO268 of 1882) - "Mr. Wright is entitled in all such

matters to the privileges which Dr. Stewart enjoyed, and

should communicate direct with the Colonial Secretary"; but

The Honourable

W. M. Deane,

Acting Colonial Secretary,
