"Regina v. Larkins."
Despatch No 168 of 28 February 1850, and stating that Mr. Campbell, acting attorney-General, charged 15 Dollars for his Post office prosecution. It is supposed, that because the Post Office was not a branch of the local Government, his services to it were not covered by his Salary, but might fairly be charged for by fees. Lord Grey, however, directed that he should refund the money. When these Instructions arrived, Mr. Campbell had left the Colony, but the Governor said that he would deduct the amount out of a much larger sum which was lying in the Treasury due to Mr. Campbell for Passage Money. Lord Grey approved.
It now turns out that Mr. Campbell drew a Bill for the whole sum due to him for Passage, and that the Governor (very properly, I think) did not dishonour the draft which he had thus drawn in ignorance of my claim against him.
I infer from the Governor's language, that Mr. Campbell has since proceeded elsewhere in the Public Service. I am disposed to think, therefore, that the best course is to acquiesce in the Governor's advice that the claim should be dropped.

Correspondence I suppose relating to Mr. Sampholt holds some reference of Mauritius. I am not certain.
Of Love Grey's Wink it is not proper to pass any comment. I can not be made to think that the Governor's correspondence was related to this matter.
