I enclose an extract from a letter, dated the
10th. of April, 1912, in which Sir F. Piggott sugested that the
Government should pay Mr. Suffiad for his services. At a meeting
held on the 26th. of April, 1912, the Executive Council advised
that no liability attached to Government in respect of such
services and Sir F. Piggott was informed accordingly.

I shall be glad if you can see your way to
deduct the sun due to Mr. Suffiad from Sir F. Piggott's pension.
Otherwise I shall advise Mr. Suffiad to sue Sir F. Piggott for the
debt.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
