No. 106

I have the honor to report that previous to Governor
Seymour's departure from this Colony he selected Mr Henry
Maynard Ball to fill the appointment of Acting Colonial Secretary
during my temporary Administration of the Government.

2. Mr Ball has held the Appointment of Assistant Gold
Commissioner and Stipendiary Magistrate in this Colony since 1859;
he has also been a member of the Legislative Council since the
formation of that Board in 1863, and I know no one in the Colony
more respected by all classes of the Community.
