125. Governors are to furnish every Officer procceding on leave of absence with

a duplicate of the Certificate above mentioned; and an absent Officer must produce such Certificate to the Crown Agents for the Colonies in order to receive his salary.

A third copy of the Certificate should be transmitted by the Colonial Government direct to the Crown Agents for the Colonies when the Officer's salary is to be paid through them, with instructions to issue the salary accordingly, as it becomes due.

130. On arriving in this country, the Officer on leave must report his arrival by letter to the Colonial Office, mentioning the place of his residence, and he must similarly notify any subsequent change of residence. Treasurers and Auditors of Colonies whose accounts are subject to Imperial audit, should also send their address to the Comptroller and Auditor-General.

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 appoint- ment 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.

Extract from Circular No. 5 of 11th March, 1891.

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 telegrain sent and of that in reply.
