	Secretary of State for the Colonies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Secretary of State for the Colonies or Colonial Secretary was the British Cabinet official in charge of managing the various British colonies.
		Previously those responsibilities had fallen to the Secretary of State for the Southern Department, who was responsible for Southern England, Wales, Ireland, the American colonies, and relations with the Catholic and Muslim states of Europe.
		In 1966, with most of the colonies gone, the office was merged with that of the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations to create the new office of Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs.

	Colonial Secretary of Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Colonial Secretary of Western Australia was one of the most important and powerful public offices in Western Australia, in the time when Western Australia was a British colony.
		The Colonial Secretary was the representative of the British Colonial Office in Western Australia, and was usually appointed from Britain.
		Since Western Australia was no longer a British colony after 1890, the office of Colonial Secretary was misnamed after this date.

		In the first place, it is stated that representations have been addressed to the Colonial Secretary on behalf of the Indian community with a view to obtaining certain modifications of the regulations.
		In reply to these representations, the Honourable the Colonial Secretary informed his petitioners that he was unable to comply with their requests but made some trifling modifications of practically no value.
		It will thus be seen that the Indian community made no representations to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary in the matter of the regulations, but that whatever representations were made came from certain individuals, who have since withdrawn their request, the letter of withdrawal being dated the 12th ultimo.

		They lacked independent leadership of their own, their interests in the higher echelons of the colonial government being represented, insofar as they were represented at all, by the agent general of immigration and his staff… the Indo-Fijians were told to accept as permanent and proper their place at the bottom of the Fiji social hierarchy.
		The Colonial Secretary's Office, in 1910, noted that "petitions were sent to the government concerning a variety of issues, including social problems, land policy, and political representation" (Lal 1992: 40-1).
		Colonialism enforced arbitrary political boundaries on the Fiji Islands and, therefore, caused Fijians, who had never before thought of themselves as "the same as" other peoples who were now Fijians, to search for a common culture between them.

	Early Canada Historical Narratives -- UPPER CANADA'S LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS AND THE COLONIAL OFFICE
		If a colony were interested in some case before the Privy Council, or in some administrative or political matter under consideration by a ministry, the colony's agent monitored events closely and reported these back to the colony's officials.
		When Governor Gore promptly appointed his own secretary to this position, people in the province were disappointed, for they knew the governor would exercise close control over the agent, monitor his actions and interpret his reports to suit the interests of the governor and not necessarily those of the colony.
		The Colonial Secretary advised Russell that in his acting capacity, he was entitled to half of the salary of the governor and half of any fees his office earned.

		This went to the Secretary of State, together with his overall supervisory function which meant inevitably that he had to remain in touch with the Cabinet in Whitehall and therefore was unable to travel.
		Our then system of administration of the Colonies was to have one lot of officials, the professional members of the Colonial Service, working in the field, and quite another lot, the civil servants in the Colonial Office, issuing instructions to them as directed by the Secretary of State from their offices in Whitehall.
		Colonial Governments had hitherto been mainly concerned with security: protection of its territory from without, and preserving law and order within: and raising sufficient revenues to obviate grants from the home Government.

		Colonial administrations were responsible for maintaining law and order and "the colonies were expected to be 'self-supporting', meeting all the expenses of administration and social services (if any) from what revenue they could raise by local taxation.
		Colonies were caught in a relationship of dependence with industrialised countries, there was an overemphasis on export of primary produce almost always in an unprocessed state (152).
		Colonial Office officials were convinced that the rapid succession of disturbances in Trinidad, Barbados, and Jamaica were due to common problems and feared the development of disturbances in other colonies.

		Specifically ”who” it may have been that first planted the idea is unrecorded, but it would not be unreasonable to presume that the arrival of Alexander Macleay as the new Colonial Secretary in January 1826, may have had something to do with the stimulus of such a noble idea.
		Macleay was a fellow of the Linnean Society of London and had been honorary secretary of that prestigious institution from 1798 until 1825, resigning this position at the express request of Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies so as to become head of the public service of New South Wales.
		Pittard however, was not a healthy man, he was sick when he arrived at the colony, and by June 1861 was so stricken with tuberculosis that the trustees recommended he be granted paid leave to recuperate in the country.
