regulations. My own opinion in general is that the Secretary of State at all events has a discretion, and that the regulations are intended not to bind him, but to guide Governors and to warn Officers of what they may generally expect.

7 Feb 9. My duty is devolving on me due to his service being doubtful, but I am somewhat puzzled as to the granting of half-salary. Mr. M. who copied Cox's minute to see the papers before I decide.

I am of the opinion that the Particulars in question are deserving of my consideration. But I confess myself, without opportunity to study the case, being in a dilemma.

5 years in service, 2 months full pay, 1 to 6 months half-salary to which he is entitled. He lives in limited circumstances. Existing rules are beneficial in such cases, and that it means similar circumstances are treated similarly.

The 6 months half-pay (in addition to serving during the joining period) is for the purpose of making allowance to an officer becoming ill while on duty. It was present in the case of officers becoming ill often.

Mr. M. 709. Such amount of pension as could be available is portable to the Colony often. I do not always maintain that ill health was not a special circumstance. And I think that it is not fair to the unit.

I will be guided by the scale in giving leave to those who are ill. The strongest criticism from doctors is that claims are made in person. My own view is that Mr. P. has examined this lending tender by the Treasury.
