As your Lordship is aware two memorials are being, or
have been, forwarded by the Civil Servants of this Colony asking
your Lordship to reconsider your decision on the salary
question. I have signed neither of those meliorials because it
appeared to me that one was a memorial from those on the
sterling basis, and the other from those on the silver basis.
I could not sign the former as I am on the silver basis. I did
not sign the latter as it seemed to me that my position was not
quite the same as that of the majority of its signatories. Of
course I thoroughly agree with the facts stated in both the
menorials and the arguments based thereon. I therefore will not
take up your Lordship's time by repeating those facts and
arguments, but will confine myself to the following remarks; -
In my position in the Colony I find it almost impossible to
