Private

On the 14th instant I ventured to send to Your Grace the
following Telegram,

Needham begs for Chief Justice at Cape. Good Man. Do not
move Young yet."

2. It was sent at the request and expense of Chief Justice
Needham. I have only to say that he has given great
satisfaction as a Judge in this Colony. He is a man of
considerable energy, a good lawyer and keeps his court in
admirable order.

2. [sic] The removal of one of our Chief Justices, although
both are liked and respected would remove all the difficulties
with which our present judiciary arrangements are embarrassed.

4. For the sake of economy I tacked on to the message a request
respecting the Acting Colonial Secretary which had no relation
to the topic with which my message commenced. I shall address
Your Grace in a Separate despatch on this second subject.
