CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4] — Page 8

It appears that the OCR output has some errors and formatting issues. Here is the proofread text:

As it is too late to take into account his past work, I cannot recommend any addition to the full rate of pension which he has earned. Mr Silva would however seem to have a better claim to special consideration ~ inasmuch as, although he also is stated by the Treasurer to have become somewhat incapacitated for active service, he is still useful by reason of his acquaintance with precedents and the previous history of long-standing cases, and might therefore have expected to continue to serve on full pay for another three years until he had completed his 60th year. In these circumstances and in view of the fact that he is now retiring practically at the request of the Government, partly due to the changes I have referred to above, I would recommend that an addition equal to 3/60 be made.
