Enclosure in No. 85. Memohattotjm for His Excellency. Ministers present their compliments to His Excellency the Governor, and respectfully beg that His Excellency will kindly apply to the Imperial Government for copies of the Civil Service Acts and the Regulations thereunder in force in Great Britain; also, for documents of a similar nature in connection with the Indian Civil Service. This information is desired for the use of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the organization of the Civil Service of this colony. Ministers would feel obliged if His Excellency would at the same time endeavour to obtain from these sources any information likely to be of service to the Commissioners in studying the principles on which to recommend that a Civil Service Act should be based.
