Lordship's Authority to make my decision retrospective in order
that the loss to Mr. Ross of eight dollars per mensen may be
made good.
2. I am also of opinion that the request of Mr. Rose
for an additional sum of $12.50 per mensem (1.0. half of Mr.
Hallifax's lapsing half pay) with compensation thereon cannot be
considered to be otherwise than reasonable, and I have the
honour therefore to repeat the recommendation made in Paragraph
2 of my despatch No. 226 of 6th of last August, as I believe that
Your Lordship's adverse decision may have been based on a mis-
apprehension of the facts.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Are
