CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3] — Page 244

Dear Sir,

To be categorical, I assume that it is clear that some of the 25 men in question belong. I see, therefore, no reason to entertain the petition unless, as I have said, it is clearly shown that the men were promised the privilege.

M: Marsh's statement is that if the request is not complied with, the Service will become unpopular.

DRAFT.

This appears to me to be only another mode of saying that government will be affected.

MINUTE.

Mr. Wingfield. Mr. Bramston. Mr. Meade. Mr. Herbert, Sir R. Herbert. Mr. Ashley. Lord Kimberley. Lord Derby.

I am inclined to yield to any pressure that is put upon it, and it is clear that the fluctuations of salary will always produce complaints of this kind to which some refusal must sooner or later be given.

If, after full enquiry, the statement of the men is not substantiated...
