legal form.

of your letter under acknowledgment.

I have, &c.,

Officiating Chief Secretary to Government.

EXTRACT from the Proceedings of the Government of
Bombay in the General Department, dated 27th
January, 1865.

Read the following letter from J. Bickersteth, Esq.,
Solicitor to Government, to E. W. Ravenscroft, Esq.,
Officiating Chief Secretary to Government, No. 1,
dated 2nd January, 1865:

"I have had the honor of receiving your Memo-
randum No. 2247, of the 30th ultimo, desiring me,
with the other officers named, to meet four gentlemen
selected by the Promoters of the Bombay Exhibition,
to discuss certain details connected with the proposed
Exhibition.

"2. I think it right to mention that the firm of
which I am a member are Solicitors to the proposed
undertaking, and hence that it may probably give
rise to misconception, if I, as a Government officer,
form one of the Committee appointed to discuss on
behalf of Government the details referred to in the
accompanyment to your memorandum, though this
fact would be no obstacle to my preparing the
contract when the details have been arranged between
Government and the Promoters.

"3. I therefore, propose to abstain from attending
the meetings of the Committee until I receive the
further instructions of Government on the subject."

Resolution—Government have agreed to the terms
of the Memorandum dated 3rd instant, and there is,
therefore, no objection to Mr. Bickersteth putting
them in legal form.

(2.) The credentials promised in Government
letter No. 65, dated 13th instant, should be prepared
in the Political Department, to which copies of the
papers on the subject should be furnished for
guidance.

Ordered that copies of the above be forwarded to—
The Solicitor to Government.
The Political Department of the Secretariat,
with copies of the papers referred to the
résolution.

national Exhibition in Bombay.
