I have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your Despatch No. 443 of the 24th. December last
relative to the employment and salaries of Mr. W. Curwen and
Mr. J. J. Bullin.
2.
In Mr. Bullin's case it was intended that
the allowances to which you refer, being of the nature of
personal allowances, would be merged in salary and therefore
pensionable, and Mr. Bullin was informed to this effect. I
regret this point was not made clear in my Despatch No. 499
of the 13th. November last, and I now have the honour to ask
for your consent to this arrangement. I would point out that
the salary formerly attaching to the post which Mr. Bullin
holds was $1,200 rising to $1,800 per annum.
3.
With regard to Mr. Curwen's salary and
employment I addressed you in my Despatch No. 126 of the 13th.
March last, which contains the information asked for in para-
graph 3 of your Despatch under acknowledgment.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
