£300, when these officers are within to be thus dismissed without appeal to the Sec: of State, it would be extremely convenient, but if adopted should it not be extended to other colonies:
Hongkong
RB.3.
14/7/73.
Mr. Prior's pension was confirmed by Card Mail. The delay arose from wartime & the weather. No. Prior affected.
I don't think I can do better than refer to suspension & 4010/3
Salary. Kindly.
Mr Herbert
As regards his proposal to refund home salary, don't spend £500.

£500 seems conclusive against there being some hardship in leaving a man (in the case of Glory) for perhaps 3 months suspended, with perhaps no means of support, and a numerous family!
The regulations are framed to be consistent with Rule granted permitting the payment of half salary until the decision of the Secretary of State is made known.
I should like to lay down that when an Officer has done anything on account for which he should be communally punished, in this case, as deemed be maintained in prison - but that in all other cases, & in the former case, if his liberated on bail, half salary alimentary allowance should be allowed.
