I hope the successful working of the "Systems now obtaining in the Clerical, Accountant, and Store" branches of the Public Works Department, may, along with the special circumstances of my Case, warrant my application being granted!

24. I hope it will be found that the latter part of my paragraph 15 justifies my fear as expressed in paragraph 10, and in this connection I think I may fairly say, that, but for such a consideration, one would be most unlikely to resign what in my Case was, to all intents, a permanent commercial position with reasonable prospects of financial improvement, and in place of it enter on an agreement at all likely to ruin me for good after a few years, sufficiently long to destroy business connection.

25. What, to the best of my belief, I did undertake, was the risk of being able to satisfy the Government as to my Condues and fitness for work.

No, my Salary, I have shown, has never even equalled the minimum amount promised me in 1891, and, after five years' Service (references by my superiors, to which I attach) it amounts at the current rate of Exchange to -

$2,880 @ 1/2d = £375.0.0

Exchange Compensation = £516.24 @ 2/2d = £57.0.0

Annual Emolument £3,396.24

27. Before
