Governor should be asked to explain what Mr Plunket has been drawing - there must surely be some available information from the salary records of the police magistrate or the registrar as to the remittance. What is the meaning of forbidding remittance at 4/2. I do not know what remittances are being referred to.

The Governor should be asked to explain. The only question that could have arisen on this point is whether Mr Gibbons is entitled to the privileges in this respect enjoyed by the Civil Service.

Send copy to the Governor & ask for explanations as above.

Considering CPL 2. June that Mr Subhouse is appointed only for a term, I am not sure that he is unreasonable in expecting full pay, at least from the date of embarkation.

I request the Governor to inform Mr Schbout that he should address forward any communications for his office through the Governor. Mr Settons asked me before leaving England whom he should address in this office, apparently supposing that he was to be in direct communication with the office on the business of his own appointment. I told him that as a general rule he would not be expected to communicate with this office directly, but that if he had any special communication to make, it should be made through the Governor.

Considering that Mr Gebbour is appointed only for a term, I am not sure that he is unreasonable in expecting full pay from at least the date of embarkation. Nothing to the contrary was said to him. It would not be according to Colonial Regulations. But his is an exceptional case and I think there is something in his contention that he is hired by time like a cabman.

It seems that there was no half-pay available for him from the date of embarkation. The Governor should be requested to tell Mr Gebbous to forward any communication for their office through the Governor.
