Extract from Colonial Office Circular of 17th August, 1883.

Any Officer who may desire to forego a portion of his leave must obtain the previous permission of the Governor, or, if in Europe, must apply to the Secretary of State for permission to do so in sufficient time to allow of at least one clear month's notice being given to the Governor, should the Secretary of State approve; and on his arrival in the Colony, it must be understood that he cannot claim as a right to resume his own appointment before the expiration of his original leave, but must place himself at the orders of the Governor, who will make such arrangements for his re-employment and for his eventual resumption of the duties of his office as may be found possible.

In cases of application for extension of leave, except on the ground of ill-health or very exceptional circumstances, the application will not be complied with without a reference to the Governor. Every Officer should, therefore, decide three or four months in advance whether or not he intends to apply for an extension of leave.

In cases where it is necessary to refer to the Governor by telegraph, the applicant must refund the cost of the telegram sent and of that in reply.

N.B.—Leave of Absence beyond 1-6th of Resident Service will not be granted by the Secretary of State except on Medical Certificate from the Medical Officer employed by the Colonial Office, or on urgent private affairs, the nature of which must be stated and must be satisfactory to the Secretary of State.
