Secretary of State for the Colonies My respectful application that

I may

receive arrears of pay from the 14 October 1854 to the

9th February 1858.

The grounds of my application are that on the expiry of the eighteen Month's leave

originally granted to Mr. Bay and which

took place

on or about the 1st

October 1854, I was

granted twelve months additional leave, but without

pay,

that during that time I did the duties of his office drawing half Mr. Bay's pay viz £575, and half my own viz

£175 making in the whole £550; that Mr. Bay not having

since the 1st October 1854, drawn

any Salary, I am entitled ~ (having done the duties, and having

since been confirmed

in the appointment) to the full salary attached to the

office

at that time viz £750 per

annum; but inasmuch as

I have already

drawn

£530 per

annum, I can only look for

arrears at the rate of £200 per

annum so as

to make

up

the full pay of £750 above

mentioned.
