Robinson.

I beg to acknowledge the necessity of giving some discretionary power, as to the period for which these quiclemen should be employed: at the Royal Mint they are becoming disappointed at the delay in commencing their engagements, and in Mr Manning's case, it is the more important as he has relinquished his forensic business.

It appears therefore desirable to give half pay for two months, rather than full pay for one month as it will afford a better opportunity, without increased cost, for "mastering the numerous details of the important duties" that appertain to these appointments, as well as employing with advantage, a greater portion of the time before embarkation.

I have the honor to remain

Your obedient servant
