Sir Fielding Clarke is
entitled to two months va-
cation leave on full pay, but,
as
I am unable to make sa
tisfactory arrangements for the discharge of the duties of Chief Justice unless the half pay of that post is available. for the officer who temporari by holds it pending the arrival of Mr. Carrington, it is not possible to grant dir "Fielding Clarke leave on
pay.
I have, therefore,
full
con
sented
sented to grant him two
half pay,
months leave on
although
I a
am
not
aware
of
any precedent for such a course, and I have no objection to his being granted
an ex-
tension of another month half pay.

I have, however, in-
formed him that the grant of this leave and of any tension is subject to
approval and to any arrange- ment which may

have been
made
