I have the honour to reply to your
Despatch No. 6 of the 6th. of January last on the subject of
certain allowances paid to Messrs. A. E. Wright, J. E. Piercy
and W. T. Edwards, and to express my regret that it has been
allowed to remain so long unanswered.
2.
The instructions contained in Lord Crewe's
39869/09
4013/09
Despatches Nos. 338 of 31st. December, 1909, and No. 6 of 7th.
January, 1910, will in future be strictly followed.
3.
I note that you are unable to sanction
without further explanation the special payments of $130.93 made
to Messrs. Piercy and Edwards. It was by an oversight that in my
Despatch No. 332 of 11th. November, 1909, no report was made to
you that payment of these allowances had been authorised by me
pending your confirmation of my action. Your Despatch No. 6 of
7th. January, 1910, requesting further information concerning
