Correspondence (private letter)
Kernaghan, William to Carnarvon, Earl 29 July 1858, CO 6:28, no. 7443, 189.

Abstract
Correspondence (private letter). Minutes (2).
Kernaghan re-submits his references and hopes not to be “overlooked” for the position of the “Secretary-ship for the new colony.”
The minutes do not believe a secretary is wanted for British Columbia; the CO sends “the usual answer.”

My Lord
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of 28th.
Having written to Sir Edw Bulwer Lytton on the 26th asking when he could receive a deputation of Members of Parliament & Canadian Merchants as well as referring him to a letter sent through the Irish Attorney General & one from Messrs. Gilmour Rankin & Co, I would fain hope that as I applied first to Lord Stanley & afterwards to Sir Edwd on his accession that I will not be overlooked in the Secretary-ship for the new Colony.
