will no longer refuse your sanction £100 per annum in addition to Mr. Da Silva, already recommended by both M. Mercer and myself. Such addition to commence from the 1st January last, and to continue during his retention in his present post.
For whatever difference of opinion may be entertained as to whether the Audit clerkship is or is not fairly ranked in the Civil Service of the Colony, there can be no question whatever I consider as to Mr Da Silva's merits, and the justice of extending to him some special consideration so long as he is retained in his present position.

Mr Da Silva has been eight years in the public Service of this Colony; he is the oldest clerk in point of Service in the Government employment on a Salary of £350 per annum, and he did not, I thought likely when writing last letter on this subject, receive any increase to his Salary on the formation of the Civil List.
I consider also that had it not been for his training in, and special fitness for, the duties of the Audit Office, he would have long since, amongst the clerks of his standing in the Service, received an increase of Salary.
