Sir,
Referring to my Despatch No 111 dated 24th December 1864 reporting
Mr Philip J. Hankin's appointment as Superintendent of Police, I
have now the honor to enclose the copy of a letter received by Mr
Hankin re-instating him as Lieutenant in the Royal Navy.
Mr
Mr Hankin's removal from the office to which I have appointed him
would be productive of some public inconvenience just now, and I
would solicit your application to the proper quarters for permission
for Mr Hankin to hold it for one year.
I make this application with Mr Hankin's full concurrence.
