With reference to your minute of the 26th August

I am directed to state for the information of the petitioners

Until, however, an answer is received from the Secretary of State on the subject of the appointment of a Committee to consider the position of the Civil Service of this Colony, His Excellency is unable to take any steps in the matter.

I am to add that the petition will not be forgotten.

The Postmaster General.
