But during the period in which he may continue to administer such Government, on whole salary, he will not be entitled to any portion of the salary of the Office from which he may have been removed; and from the period at which the newly-appointed Governor shall become entitled to half salary, the Officer provisionally administering shall receive only the other half; and "Table Allowance," as above stated. Whether he can in this case draw also half the salary of his own Office will depend on the arrangements made for payment of his substitute, and will be decided in each instance by the Secretary of State.

Should a Government be vacant by reason of the absence on leare of the Governor (who would then be entitled to half salary), and should an Officer administering some other Government be called to the provisional administration of the Government temporarily vacant, such Officer will be entitled to draw the half salary of the Govern- ment from which he may have so temporarily removed, together with the half salary of the Governinent which he may have been called provisionally to administer; and “Table Allowance," as above stated.
If the period of a vacancy, or of the absence of a Governor, should exceed nine months, and there should be any salary left for the purpose, the Secretary of State will be willing to make such arrangements as may appear reasonable for the increase of the salary of the temporary holder for the period of excess.
Officers in the provisional administration of Colonial Governments must, however, in all cases in which bills are drawn on the Pay- master-General, draw for the half salaries only of such Governments until they shall receive Notifications from the Colonial Office of the periods during which they may be entitled to full salary.
113A. Officers succeeding to the administra- tion, or the provisional administration, of Colonial Governments, will be entitled to draw full or half salary, as the case may be, in respect of the day on which they assume their duties. The

i12. The Colonial Government, on timely application from the Officer, is to transmit such
a certificate to the Crown Agents, furnishing the Officer with a duplicate.*
113. The following Rules are to be observed in regard to the salary to be drawn by Officers appointed to the provisional administration of Governments, or transferred from one Government to another :—
Whenever the Government of a Colony may be vacated by the death, recall, or resignation of the holder of it, or when the Governor may
be absent on leave, the person succeeding to the administration of the Government shall (if previously resident in the Colony) receive halt of the salary of the Governor; and the full “Table Allowance," in cases where any such allowance is made.
Should any Officer in the Civil Service of a Colony be called to administer the Government of a Colony in either of the aforesaid cases, he will (if no other arrangement has been made and sanctioned on his assumption of the Government) be entitled to receive half the
salary of the Governor, together with half the salary of his own Office.
Should the person called to the administra- tion have been removed from the Public
Service in another Colony for the purpose, he shall receive, during a vacancy of the Govern- ment to which he shall so have been called, and until the embarkation of his Successor, the whole salary of the Governor; and "Table Allowance," as above stated.
