I have the honour to report that I have

appointed Mr. C. G. S. Mackie provisionally and subject to His Majesty's pleasure to be temporarily an unofficial

member of the Legislative Council in the place of the

Honourable Sir H. E. Pollock, K.C., who is temporarily

absent from the Colony.

Sir Henry Pollock has left for England on

a visit which is expected to extend over a period of about

eighteen months. He was, as reported in Sir Cecil Clementi's

52826 despatch No.79 of the 10th February, 1928, appointed as the

nominee of the Justices of the Peace and as such his term

will expire on 16th January, 1932. The usual arrangements

were made for the election of his successor, as shown in the

Gazette Notification of which I enclose a copy, but Mr.

Mackie's name was the only nomination received.
