and pension.
I enclose extract from the Minutes of the Executive Council to which body, in obedience to Your Lordship's instructions, I submitted the matter, and it will be seen that the Council unanimously agreed that 20 Irvin should be recommended for a pension of one-third of his salary, or $266. 13s. It; but that for services rendered to Army and Navy, he had no claim whatever on the Colony.
In that view I entirely coincide.
I presume that if Dr. Irvin's claim be allowed, he will draw pension from 13th May, 1866.
I have the honor to be,
Your Lordship's,
Most Obedient Servant,
Richard Graves MacDonnell
Governor.
