With reference to my previous Despatches relative to
Captain
Holmes, I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter which I
have caused to be addressed to him, and which will explain to you the
grounds on which I have felt myself justified in offering to
him
him the
appointment of Registrar of the Supreme court of
British Columbia,
vacant by the transfer of
Mr. Mathew to the Colonial Secretaryship of
Honduras.
