well be carried out, for if we assent to it his pension will have to be computed on emolument, which he never received:

It would have been different of course if he had received an allowance of £100 in lieu of claim to draw on the Fees. Although he had a right to there Fees he did so from motives of delicacy it appears. As he never drew any allowance thus has not drawn, I do not think that when he comes to retire an imaginary sum of £100 can be added to his pensionable emoluments. It will of course be open to the Secretary of State to award him a special pension, which would amount practically to the same thing.

any advantage Bob M. Price is entitled to in respect of his giving up the fees it would be better I should think if it were given but he appears not to want it now!

Then it would not affect an allowance of £100 in his pensionable emoluments. A somewhat similar course is being adopted in the Straits (bec3273) for W. Price wants to have full credit by it "Voluntary Sacrifice" at the same time not to lose too much.

There seems to be no sufficient reason for his making a martyr of himself, and I think M. Browne's proposal that an allowance of £100 a year in lieu of Fees should be made now and the pension computed on it in the ordinary way hereafter, is the best way of treating the case, in case he contemplates retiring before 3 Years have expired, it might be specially arranged that the £100 per annum will count towards pension without question.
