new plan, to prevent, by an absolute prohibition, as pointed out in your 10th paragraph,
any infraction of the Rules, without the previously obtained sanction of Government.

and assessed, seem peculiarlv favourable for giving effect to measures calculated to per
fect our system of revenue administration, and I sincerely hope that Government will
make an experiment there of the plan of promotion you suggest, which bids fair to be
productive of the best results, and could not, I think, by possibility do harm.
I have the honour to be, See.

For the reasons stated by Mr. Goldfinch and Captain Wingate, I am of opinion that
it would be advisable to establish some Rules for regulating promotion among the Native
.servants.
2. I would propose, that the suggestions conveyed
Paragraph 7 of Mr. Goldfinch's letter, in the 7th paragraph of Mr. Goldfinch's letter be fully
carried out.
