Enclosure 2. Sir, — 7, Westminster Chambers, London, S.W., 23rd June, 1881. I have the honor to inform you, in compliance with instructions to that effect from the Government, that, deeming it to be expedient that the Agent-General for the time being should be one of the Commissioners under the Public Revenues Act, the Government have thought fit to revoke the appointment which you held in that capacity, and to issue a new Order in Council for the above purpose. In conveying this dacision to you, I am to request your acceptance of the thanks of the Government for the services you rendered as one of the Commissioners. I have, &c, Sir Julius Vogel, K.C.M.G. F. D. Bell.

Authority: Geobge Didsbuey, Government Printer, Wellington.—lBBl
