analogous in other Colonies, i.e. office-holders,
members of the principal Council in the
Colony, the permission likewise is granted
from the same date, but in cases where the
right to a uniform is not clear to the mind of
a Governor the permission is suspended for
the decision of the Secretary of State.
Colorists who may on any former occasion
have held an Office to which the uniform
may be allowed under the present despatch,
will be entitled to assume it on notifying
their wish to the Governor, who will transmit
their names to the Secretary of State.
It must be strictly understood that no
Colonial Functionary, whatever his rank,
shall be entitled to this uniform in virtue of
any office not held directly or indirectly
under the Crown. No Elective Councillor,
not an Office-holder, can have any claim to
an Official dress exclusively reserved for the
service of the Crown.
Colonists, however, who have hitherto been
allowed to wear the old Colonial Uniform
may still wear it; and you may confer the
right of wearing that Uniform on such Ma-
gistrates and Local Officers as you may con-
sider of a position corresponding to that of a
Deputy Lieutenant in this country.
The official regulation issued by the Lord
Chamberlain of Her Majesty's Household with
regard to Civil Uniforms is herewith trans-
mitted. It will therein appear, that there are
two distinct dresses, one called the Full
Dress, the other the Levee Dress; the former
worn only at the Queen's Drawing Rooms,
and state occasions in this country. This
being very expensive, and the occasions upon
which it could be worn being very rare, it is
presumed that the Levee Dress only would
be preferred for Colonial use.
I have, &c., &c.,

CARNARVON,
In the absence of Sir E. B. Lytton.

P.S. - You will be pleased to place the Offi-
cial Regulation with the drawings annexed
in the custody of the Colonial Secretary,
with an intimation that no additional copies
can be supplied.

Downing-street,

in the Province of Auckland, and I have to
inform you that the receipt was transmitted to

tions on this account are now paid, and that it
