Sir, F. Rogers, 16026/66

See Mufardwell,

decision.

Adams' application

07 June East.

If Chief Justice Adams had signed he would have been entitled to a handsome gratuity,

but only 4 days before his death he applied for leave in the hope that he would be able to resume his duties.

This leave was granted as a great indulgence with half salary.

Mr. Adams' case.

My Lord,

Your obedient servant,

Eller... M. Anauit (?)

Lord Canning

To the Right Honorable

Secretary of State for the Colonies

Tot devin d. k. in 8 May 1859, a severe illness compelled him to return home & after 18 months his health again failing, he applied for leave, which was granted. After 7 months he again applied for and obtained leave. If he had applied for and been granted an extension of leave, he would have been entitled to a gratuity.

When Mr. Robinson calculated the half-salary allowance, it was unfortunate that the allowance was not granted.
