EXTRACT FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S CIRCULAR OF THE 17TH. AUGUST, 1883.
Any Officer who may desire to forego a portion of Eis leave must obtain the previous permission of the Governor, or, if in Europe, must apply to the Secretary of State for permis- sion to do so in sufficient time to allow of at least one clear month's notice being given to the Governor, should the Secretary of State approve; and on his arrival in the Colony, it must be understood that he cannot claim as a right to resume his own appointment before the expira- tion of his original leave, but must place himself at the orders of the Governor, who will make such arrangements for his re-employment and for his eventual resumption of the duties of his office as may be found possible.
