4 spoken of in Mr Pûl's despatch is "of a very unusual kind", which 'could only work in a satisfactory manner through a cordial concurrence between the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor. Whatever may have been the cause, the unusual arrangement was found inconvenient if not impracticable - a cordial concurrence of opinion and action did not exist between the Administrator and the Governor- and the Secretary of State was pleased to restore matters to their ancient state with this sole difference that with greatly augmented duties, - hearty mercantile expences, and a greatly augmented revenue (and a complete independence of Parliamentary grants) the Governor receives nothing from the Colonial fund except £250 for Secretaries, and a palatial edifice for his abode.
9. It is perfectly true that I accepted the office at a salary of £4,000 a year, divested as it was intended to be of all the administrative détails of Government, but I strongly represented the inadequacy of the Salary- and Lord Clarendon desired to make that salary £4,500
