are aware that a

imposed upon Sir Henry Pottinger. -

Your Lordships. Salary of £6000. a

1 year 2

has been

assigned to her davir, and that such Salary will be borne upon the Estimate

of the Colonial Office..

I understand from Lord Stanley,

that it is inconsistent with the

usual

practice of the Colonial Office to grant Outfits to Governors; - but as the Salary assigned to Mr Davis has been

fixed at the sum

of £6000. a year in consideration of the several

Offices which

are united in his

person, I conceive that at least

on a portion of that salary, he

is entitled to receive such

allowance

by way of outfit as he would have received

if such portion had been borne on the Estimate of the Foreign Office..

The sum

of

£3000. a

year

was

fixed in 1856. as the Salary to be enjoyed by the Chief Superintendent, and I propose that on that Sum, an allowance by way of outfit

should be made to Mr Davis,

One third

on the same principle which diplomatic and consular outfits are granted; namely third of the yearly salary I have accordingly to request that Your Lordships will have the goodness to give directions that the sum £1000. be

paid

to her dair's or

Bus
