I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 39
               of the 
23rd April, in regard to the appointment of 
Phillippo as Attorney
               General of 
B. Columbia, and the emoluments to be attached to that
               office.
               
               In case any difficulties should occur in the Council with reference
to
               to the increase to £800 per annum of the salaries fixed by the Crown
               Salaries Act, I have to authorize you, as you propose to make 
Mr.
                  Phillippo's salary up to that amount from the vote which supplied the
               fees paid to the late Attorney General.
