He now asks to defer his departure for 62 months due to the state of his health after ten years of service.

"I query, 18 May", it was allowed for 4 months.

The other two have shown the utmost deference to defer his departure till the account of health.

The best course would be deferring his departure till the 4th Left, as there will be on Sat. a bad season down the Red Sea.

He has his life, 2 daughters, and a son with him.

I should think that under the circumstances, he should be allowed to defer his departure till the 4th.

Sun & Regent! Avs? 2688 +6375. An ex-gratia salary shall be paid to W. Smale before the Chief Justice succeeds in relieving him of his duties as Attorney General.

I am directed by Lord Cardwell to acquaint you that he has it in mind to accede to the request to defer your departure for England on account of poor health.

It is questionable whether he might have his full salary from 1 June. It is doubtful.
