necessary. I therefore propose to request friends in London to submit the hardship of my unhappy case at the Colonial Office.

I must add that I do not object in principle to allowing the Judge of the Summary Court half my salary. I emphatically object to losing all vacation leave which since 1860 has not been more than six weeks in all.
