the two united do not
equal the pay of many Officers of this beatony below
me
in rank: whilst from the peculiar position the Auliter holds of financial Comptroller over all the Departments I am unable excefit under
enjoy
ON
very
rare circumstances to
the advantage of acting
allowances
extra pay for combination of offices.
His Excellency will I trust feel dispered
my stereign Office
to recommend that
"pay should be considered as an extra Salary given for the performance of extra my remuneration from
duty
and that
the Colony should be such or nearly
such
as
usually given
given to Officers of
t.
in
my rank and position.
I explained to Sir F. Roqero January last when applying for extension
of
leave what
serious pecuniary inconvenience I should suffer by a return to the Colony
at that time as some
property to which I had become entitled was in course of settlement. but the bolonial Government
apparently required my services and notwithstanding that the storeign Office would willingly have kept
me at home
obliged
to leave
on full salary, I was and thus became involved in legal expenses and much loss. Taking this
into consideration together with the
