Secretary of State is necessary, nor is any abatement of salary required, but the leave must be recorded under the Governor's haud and seal, and the officer absenting himself must, with the concurrence or sanction of the Gover- nor, have made such arrangements as may be necessary for the adequate discharge of his duties without cost to the public.
134. In cases where an officer is entitled to claim both vacation leave of six weeks or three months, and also leave on half-pay for a longer period, and comes home by permission of the Governor on vacation leave, he may apply for an additional leave of absence on half-pay, to be taken immediately on the expiration of the vacation leave, subject to the usual rules which regulate such absence, and on condition that before leaving the colony the officer has in- formed the Governor of his intention to apply for such extended leave, and that the Governor has reported to the Secretary of State his ap- proval of such intention, and has furnished the usual certificate of leave of absence: or the Governor may give the officer leave of absence for a period not exceeding that allowed by Regulation 120, with an intimation that he will be entitled to
full pay for the period for his vacation leave, and subsequently to half-pay.
135. Officers apply for leave with the interr tion of retiring must only receive such term of leave as will allow time for coming to a deci- sion in England respecting the application for retirement; and the Governor giving leave under such circumstances must report them to the Secretary of State. The officer's half- salary will in such case cease and his pension commence when his retirement is sanctioned.
136. If an officer retires during his leave of absence without having originally given notice of his desire to do so, the period at which his half-salary is to cease must be deter- mined according to the circumstances of the
case.*

138. Governors will be granted the same amount of passage allowance on retiring or being removed from their governments, but they must not draw for the amount without the previous sanction of the Secretary of State; if, however, they come home on leave of ab- sence, or are relieved at their own request, before the period at which a successor would, under ordinary circumstances, be appointed, they must provide their own passages. The return allowances of Governors who may have left this country before the 1st January 1870, will be governed by the regulations which were in force at the time of their leaving.
139. If a Governor is removed from one government to another, he, will not be entitled to passage allowance from the colony from which he retires to this country, and likewise from hence to the colony to which he is about to proceed, unless the Secretary of State and the Treasury shall be satisfied that his return to this country was unavoidable, or in further- ance of the public interests, but the allowance to be granted to him will be calculated by the Secretary of State and the Treasury according to the probable expense of the direct passage from one colony to the other, estimated on the same principle as the passage allowance from England. In the case of a public functionary (not a Governor) or other person resident in a colony, who may be appointed to the govern- ment of another colony, the same principle will be followed by the Secretary of State and the Treasury as nearly as circumstances will
admit.
140. Whenever a Lieutenant-Governor is appointed to a colony in which a superior Go- vernor is resident, and exercising all the func tions of his office, he will be entitled to receive a moiety of the passage allowance assigned by the regulations to the Governor under whom he is about to serve.
