There are gaol records which * will prove this, for I don't think ther e* cordg could show the name* of six edu« cated wom^n for breaches of trust ; but if women do the same work with confer safety to the funds of (heir omplovprs fliny should have the same pay as the men they supersede.

I observes :— ' I request ihnt you will in- "< form the memmali«ts thn* their petitions have been laid before the Queen, and that Her Majesty is gratified to observe the ' ■well-merited appreciation of your services to which they benr witness, hut flmt it ! is necessary that H<»r Majesty's advisers ; should hold themselves absolutely free to t tender suc'i ! adyic<> to the Q'lwn as may .? t permit of the employment -of an pvperi- '\ ■enced Governor in any place in which the % requirements of tho moment may appear » f to render his services mist valuable _; and therefore it is not possible to decide in -advance in what portion of Her Mfijr-sty'B dominions it may be of advantage for any officer to be emnloyed.
