of Col Caine,

Although he did not ack to C.B., he said that if he had not been in Hongkong as a Civil Servant he would have been nominated for that distinction.

I conclude in Cardwell's favour. His Grace's decision was reversed. The answer to Col Caine's query is that Mr Cardwell does not see any reason to beatify him by reversing the decision already made, which has not been already considered, and which would have arrived at behind his Rücken.

With regard to Col Caine's application for recompensement, I must add that he is already 64 years old.

W. Cardwell, I have some knowledge both of Col Caine and his case, and I am bound to say that I do not think that he has any grievance.

Reference is made in S. Jottage to the small pension (£1050) which Col Caine enjoys, in comparison with the pension which was assigned to Chief Justice Fulme (£1500).

I would remark for Cardwell's information that for 13 years Col Caine received £1800 - £2250, whereas the salary of the Chief Justice was £3000 a year. Col Caine served as Col Lect. for 5 years and as Governor. The Chief Justice retired from the Colony after fifteen years' service with shattered health.

Chief Justice Fulme is receiving the amount to which he would be entitled under the pension Minute, viz. 1/30 of his salary for 15 years' service = £1500.

Col Caine was granted £1050. I have often thought that the Treasury in granting him £1050 had "erred on the side liberal". His case appears to be more deserving than that of the War Office, as shown in J.R.1.
