I submit that for 1908 and the following
years my salary should in fairness be increased to the equiva-
-lent of £1,000 a year, with other allowances as at present.
In submitting this application, I have
16.
borne in mind the facts that I am provided with an Office in the
Supreme Court, which is a very great convenience, and that I am
allowed to retain all costs recovered by me from unsuccessful
litigants in Crown Cases. Were it not for these advantages, I
should have been obliged to resign the appointment long ago.
Against these privileges must be set off the facts that I am
not entitled to any pension, and that when on leave I have to
provide a substitute at my own expense.
I have etc.,
(Sd.) F. B. L. Bowley,
Crown Solicitor.
