Copy of a DESPATCH from the Right Hon. Earl of KIMBERLEY to Governor Sir G. F. BOWEN,
G.C.M.G.
(Circular.)
SIR,—
Downing Street, 25th August, 1871.
Referring to my predecessor's Circular Despatch of the 27th June, 1870, on the subject of
offering rewards for the apprehension of Deserters from the Royal Navy, I have the honor to inform
you that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have intimated to me that they have no objection
to the carrying out of a recommendation which has been made by the Governor of Tasmania: namely,
that the Governors of the respective Australian Colonies may apply any penalties that may be
recovered under the 25th section of the Naval Discipline Act, in such a manner as may seem best
calculated to bring to justice those who render themselves liable to prosecution under its provisions.
The Officer Administering the Government
of New Zealand.
I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

(Circular.)
SIR,—
Downing Street, 26th August, 1871.
I transmit to you for general information a copy of a letter from the Secretary to the
Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, enclosing Memoranda on the subject of the representation
of Jewellery and Paper in the proposed International Exhibition of 1872, and I have to request that
you will afford Her Majesty's Commissioners such assistance as may be in your power in procuring
collections of Peasant Jewellery and Paper of local manufacture in the Colony under your government.
The Officer Administering the Government
of New Zealand.
I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

Annual International Exhibition.
Upper Kensington Gore, London, W., 21st August, 1871.
SIR,—
I am directed by Her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, to request you to
have the kindness to lay before the Earl of Kimberley the accompanying printed Memoranda on the
subject of the representation of jewellery and paper in the International Exhibition of 1872, and to
move his Lordship to have the kindness to communicate them to the different Colonial Governments,
requesting them to have the goodness to afford Her Majesty's Commissioners the benefit of their
assistance in procuring collections of peasant jewellery and paper of local manufacture of the different
Colonies. Her Majesty's Commissioners are prepared to grant sums not exceeding £30 for the purchase
of jewellery, and £2 for the purchase of specimens of paper in each Colony, it being borne in mind that
in the case of jewellery, the characteristic design of such specimens should be of much greater considera-
tion than the intrinsic value. Should it appear that this sum is insufficient for the purpose, I am to
request that a communication may be made to Her Majesty's Commissioners with the view of their
making, if possible, an increased grant.
With reference to the representation of jewellery also, Her Majesty's Commissioners are of opinion
that illustrations (such as models, photographs, &c.,) of the mode of wearing peasant jewellery in various
countries would be interesting, and I am directed to express their wish that, where possible, illustrations
of this character may accompany the collections.
The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies.
I have, &c.,
HENRY Y. D. SCOTT, Colonel, R.E.,
Secretary.
