I agree with what Bamston says that the Ordinance 1812 and the minute

25 April 1870 give to all Civil servants who have entered the service of the Crown since the promulgation of that minute

a legal claim to pensions from the Crown based upon

the provisions of the Minute. I do not think that a mere instruction by the Secretary of State to alter the minute

can affect this legal claim

especially

as the intention to give effect to that instruction has been left unfulfilled by successive governors

who have had the draft of a new minute intended to give effect to it under consideration until the 25th of last month and

(m 13762m) I observe that in the despatch of that date, expressing the views of the Govt. on the proposed new minute (which has still to be revised in the Colony before final approval) the O.A.G. is instructed to add a clause preserving the pension rights of persons who entered the service of the Colony

under

the date of the (old) minute

The question raised by Mr March is entirely distinct from that raised by his colleague Smith who had not a leg to stand upon -

EN 23 Nov

As the Civil servant's pension case connects with one of the leading Colonies, I do not think it should be decided in his absence, and there is no need to reply to the March immediately. But I do not think it will be possible to refuse the pension which he claims. A copy of the case can be sent to the Law Officers to advise on its payment if

before it.
