ant Superintendent of the faol must have relieved the
Captain Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent of some
work,
and that we could not therefore approve the
appointment of the additional Assistant Superintendent
för Victoria. One appointment for the New Territory was enough; it could be given to a Passed Cadet on $2,400
Mr Halifax's appointment was, we presumed, temporary,
as it had not been submitted.
The fovernor replied that two Assistant
Superintendents were required, but that it had not been
proposed to appoint an Assistant Superintendent for Victoria, nor one specially for the New Territory; asked for a Policeman from India, or that failing, that a cadet should be trained in an Indian police force.

one at $3,000); one of whom is stated in a footnote
to be for Victoria, one for the New Territory. It
will be seen that we have definitely refused to
appoint more than one of these, and Sir H.Blake
