For performing the duties of the two Deputy Registrars during the four months of Mr. Lee-Jones' full pay leave Mr. McElderry was granted a special allowance at the rate of £50 a year which I regret was not at the time reported to you. This, how- -ever, ceased from the 27th. June when half-pay became available and I have the honour to recommend that in respect of overtime worked from the 27th. June to the 4th. August inclusive Mr. McElderry should be granted a bonus of $100. He did a considerable amount of work out of office hours and performed the duties of both Registrars to Mr. Nisbet's entire satisfaction.
I have the honour to be, Sir.
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Claud Severn
Officer Administering the Government
