Governor's Despatch No. 493 of 28. 10. 1903.

Officers before returning from leave of absence should notify to the Crown Agents the date to which they intend to draw salary in England so that a "last pay Certificate" may be prepared and forwarded to the Colony as without it payment of salary in the Colony on the return of officers may be delayed. (Feb. 1904.)
