bral funds, and it is the duty of Dr Buchanan to see to the proper application of these Funds.

In commenting on the case of W. Reed, the Treasury laid down the two following rules:

That a Public Servant should not contract with the Government for extra pay for duties coming within his office.

In this case it is not intended that Dr Buchanan should contract with the Government at the back of the Treasury. What is proposed is that the assent of the Secretary of State and the local Government Board having been asked and obtained, Dr Buchanan should be permitted to undertake the work if he finds it consistent with his public duties.

That except in case of clear necessity the Government should not buy its servants for performing duties other than those in which they are employed.

This Rule admits that if it is necessary to employ them, they ought to receive extra pay. As has been already said the data is in their care, and the question is whether his employment is a case of clear necessity?

In fact, knowledge of the subject is only in their hands. Dr Buchanan and my Palatine eminent servants, we would have a loss to find any other assistance.

The case is as much one of necessity as the employment of an officer of the Imperial army to command and organize a Colonial Militia where it has never been disputed.
