It was fixed at 3/8 when the last increase was granted to me. It would be a great hardship and even an injustice to me when all the other Europeans in the service have, because they are Europeans, received generous treatment by the last two increases, that I should be placed on the lowest scale.

For all these reasons I confidently appeal, Sir, to your sense of Justice and ask that I may be allowed to draw my pension through the Crown Agents at the rate of 37s. and that all arrears may be paid to me.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,

Sand Barff

late Superintendent of Police.

Yours faithfully,

P. Mesney

Dear Lucas,

I was sorry to miss you today. I have just sent out a demi-official to Barker regarding a very hard case. He is a European living in Junk Bay, Endeavour to get some English articles and necessaries. Suffering too from the increase of price consequent on the fall in the value of the Dollar or tael, and yet he paid expulsion at the rate of one Dollar only - Much suffering.
