§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am informed by my noble Friend the Secretary of State for War that Mr. O'Dowd will retire at the end of the present financial year, and that it has been arranged that Sir John Scott, late judicial adviser to the Khedive, shall succeed him. Sir John Scott will begin his duties in October in order to have six months' service with Mr. O'Dowd.
