which application was forwarded by the Governor to Downing Street. I never entertained the remotest idea of quitting Government Service until I was informed on economical grounds, my Office and services would, in all probability, be dispensed with; and thus when an opportunity afterwards afforded me of other employment, being a poor man, considered myself merely carrying out the wishes of Government in providing for myself, before the abolition of my Office should throw me on the world. I hopefully begged that Her Majesty's Government would, notwithstanding, allow me the compensation for abolition of my Office for which I had applied.
These facts were fully explained by me in my letter resigning Office, copy attached, (Enclosure Dr. J.) and acknowledged, with a tribute to my services and a promise of future employment in the Official letter accepting my resignation (Enclosure S:8.).
The circumstances under which I then left Government Service can almost be termed compulsory; the initiative being taken by Government, not by myself; and when coupled with the facts that the Vacancy was filled up, and that I did not receive the compensation applied for, it cannot reasonably be classed in the same category with a resignation of Office, debarring the resigner from all claims for prior actual service being voluntary.
