Despatch.—Recognition of Acting Consular Appointments.

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 13th December, 1892.

THE following despatch, received from Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, is published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

(Circular.)

Downing Street, 27th September, 1892.

MY LORD,—I have the honour to request that, instead of the arrangement laid down in Lord Stanley of Preston’s circular despatch of the 28th January, 1886, with reference to the recognition of acting consular appointments in British colonies, the following may be substituted:—

When a Consul is authorised by the consular regulations of the country which he represents, or by the terms of his appointment, or by special instructions from his Government, to nominate an Acting Consular Officer in his absence, you will be at liberty to recognise the officer so nominated without reference to the Secretary of State.

It will be sufficient, in the first case, that the Consul should inform the Colonial Government once for all of the consular regulations of the country which he represents; and, in the second case, that he should communicate the terms of his appointment to the Colonial Government on taking up his post; but, in the third case, the nomination should always be accompanied by the special instructions.
