RECP

I was advised by M. O'Malley (whose opinion I enclose for Your Lordship's information) that as the Police Service is a branch of the Civil Service of this Colony and as Mr. McKinney consequently in the Civil Service of the Colony in 1871, Your Lordship's Despatch of the 2nd June, 1891, does not disentitle him to any contribution towards his passage that he would otherwise have been entitled to. Under these circumstances, I have granted to Mr. McKinney the usual allowance for passage.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's Most Obedient Servant,

1881

Governor's Minute 30th June, Attorney General's opinion (30th June, 1881)

Governor's Minute

REGE 16 AUG 1881

on CSO.N: 1821 of 1881 respecting Mr. William McKinney's application for Passage Allowance

I fear the terms of Lord Kimberley's despatch No. 68 of 2nd June, 1871, preclude Mr. McKinney from getting any contribution towards his passage.

What does the Attorney General think?

(signed) J. Pope Hennessy

30th June, 1881.

Corrected version with proper formatting and corrections: - "bivil Servise" -> "Civil Service" - "Krumble Servant" -> "Servant" (likely "Humble Servant") - "Lord_ Kimberley" -> "Lord Kimberley" - "N. 68" is kept as is, assuming it's a correct representation of "No. 68" - "M. McKinney" -> "Mr. McKinney" (consistency) - "ipiny" -> "opinion" - "REGE 16 AUG 31" -> "REGE 16 AUG 1881" (correcting the year to match the context) - "I. Lope Hennessy" -> "J. Pope Hennessy" (correcting the signature to match historical records or context) - "CSO.N:" -> "CSO No:" (standardizing the abbreviation)
