paid into the Commissarial chest. In 1857 the payment of the pensions were upon the felony, but in that year Contributions were abolished by Act of Parliament. I only learn the fact that Col. Caine did contribute on his salary as Lieut. Governor from the statements in his Despatch for the present letter.
I calculated his pension thus: His whole service (including his time as Lt. Governor) was 18 years, giving, under the recent act, a pension of 18/30ths of his salary.
18/30ths of 1800, the salary of Col. Lt. Govr. = £1080
18/30ths of 2250, the salary of You. Govr. = 675.

Col. Caine is not satisfied with the £600 which the Duke of Newcastle allowed him, but on the fact of his having paid contributions on his office of Lieut. Governor, I do not quite see how it bears on the case.
If we knew nothing of such contributions, we had, it would have been our duty to stop them: being paid for is sometimes the case, found on may suffer) in order to be right. If merely when Lieut. Governor, he would, as such, have no suspension at all. In strictness, Col. Caine's pension would have been calculated on his Commandership only, = £540.
And would have entitled him to put in claiming something by reason of his contributions, it would (as he has been Lieut. Governor for only 4 years) not have brought him up so high as £600.
He comes then to claim as Extraordinary Services.
It is a duty to speak plain on such matters. Col. Caine
