them from the benefits of the scheme - In the revised minute MM-Lewes has proposed to remedy this defect.
With regard to Lord Blackford's minute on 6628/62, I doubt whether he would have advocated giving pensions to government officials whose private earnings were substantial in comparison with their official salary. This was essentially the case with the so-called Crown Solicitor who was simply an advising Solicitor doing certain work for a fee of £250 a year, though the salary has since been doubled. I think that it is clear from 17470/67 that this is still more of a case.
Moreover, the C.O. Circular of 12 March 1870 said that as regards Colonial pensions, the Treasury rules in the matter of private practice would be followed except where special grounds for deviation from that practice may have been duly sanctioned. And therefore, in spite of the minute made by Mr. W. Sharp, I do not think he can be held to have any good claim; and as he has not asked for a pension and would not appear to contemplate getting one, I would not raise the point in his favour, and his claim (if he puts one forward) being unsubstantiated.
