Commulation for Service in the Office of Chief Magistrate

and for the interests of this Government, in emergency, towards affording fair prospects in life and above.

That so happen, ever presented itself. But it does in the case that His Excellency ignored in practice the recommendation. If, however, the principle still be held, I am confidently of the opinion that in such a State, such event, public injury will be done to the public servant, by permitting this exceptional case, in mid-career, to be charged against him -- "so far shalt thou go, and no further".

The stone shall be placed in a position to roll down. "I would, I submit, be inconsistent with the service Covenant, could I, in my case, retire with such superannuation allowance as may be held."

It will not fail to instance which injuriously upon its morale depends. Vouching upon the equity of the original breach. The China Mail would, I submit, be inconsistent with the service Covenant.

Submission to the Secretary of the Colonial Office

I submit that a single instance of misconduct should not result in the termination of a public servant's career. The interests of the public servant should be considered, with possible regard to the public good.

It is with great confidence that I make this submission, in the hope that it will be considered favourably, and that the public servant will be allowed to continue in service without undue penalty.

The case is recent and the circumstances are such that I feel compelled to bring it to your attention, CLO 04.
