No. 166

With the permission of Your Grace's predecessor, given while
the general arrangements for the Union of Vancouver Island with
British Columbia were under consideration, I have conferrred the
title of Assistant Colonial Secretary on Mr Charles Good, Chief
Clerk in the Colonial Secretarys Office.

2. Mr Good does not acquire any increase of Salary, or of
claims on the Government by this Change. He is a zealous and
useful Public Officer, however.

3. It is convenient in the frequent absences of Mr Young,
Acting Colonial Secretary, that there should be some one who is
of sufficient rank to sign letters for the interior of the Colony.
