Barff, Deputy Registrar and Accountant, Supreme Court, be allowed to retire from the 31st March next on a pension amounting to $1984 per annum.

The usual paper of particulars is enclosed.

I may add, in reference to the above despatch, that I have permitted Mr. Barff to draw his full personal allowance during his half pay leave, inasmuch as there are precedents for grant.

It and the half of his pay and allowance would be less than the amount of pension to which he would be entitled at the commencement of such leave.

Ground 25 years pensionable service.

I have the honour to be, My Lord Marquess, Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,

But if not, this is a foolish argument to his pension.

13760/02
