I agree that these ladies should, in view of the trying nature of their granted duties, be given exceptional privileges with regard to passages to England, and I would suggest that they should be given, after every six years' service on an average, free return first-class passages. This would tend to the necessary maintenance of their physical efficiency.

On the other hand, I am, as at present advised, opposed to passages to this country. I consider this arrangement preferable to the one which you have recommended. I would point out that their agreements provided for first-class passages. The fact that the police were granted second-class passages does not appear to me to be a relevant analogy in the case of these ladies and that of the Police Constables; and I take this opportunity of intimating that the privilege granted to them is to be regarded as entirely exceptional and not to be drawn into precedent for extending it to any new class of male public servants.
