CO129-088 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1862 [10-12] — Page 123

121

You Grace's notice the difficultyr - I might

say impossibility of making this sum suffice,

hardly intended I should think

and the

fact, by the Regulations, that the Revenue benefits by the half of my-Salary as Colonial Secretary. while the rule applied to Ucling Governor differs from that which obtains in the case of all other puôice officers. The wor

wording of the first -

paragraph under Regulation 96 makes me

hope that

as

my

{

application for my half Saluzy

Colonial Scoretary from my assumption of

I the Government may

be entertained, as the "Fable

: Allowunce" referred to in the paragraph is in

.

ffect consolidated in the Governor's Salary.

In this hope I forbear

further reasons

to advance

for troubling Your Grace with

the present claim.

J

am

nfident that on re confident

reference

te

Sir H. Robinson this application will be

pronounced nut unreasonable

I have the honor to be.

My

Lord Duke,

Your Grace's

Mort Obedient Servant.
