452
leave of absence
of absence on half-salary on urgent private affairs to Mr. M. Goodman, Attorney General, I have the honour to forward copy of papers Mr Goodman's application for leave, from which Your Lordship will learn the reasons for which Mr Goodman desired to return to England.
2. M. Goodman has served only 3 months in this Colony but he mentioned in his application that his length of service in British Honduras was such as to entitle him to a considerably longer leave than that now asked for.
3. I have doubts, however, how far service in one Colony can be taken into account for leave purposes in another, and I thought it safer to accede to the application on the grounds of urgent private affairs.
Enclosure 277th June 1890.
