Extract from Colonial Regulations.

125. Governors are to furnish every Officer proceeding 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 Colonics 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 andit, 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 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 Medienl Certificate from the Medical Officer employed by the Colonial Office, or ou urgent private affairs, the nature of which must be stated and must be satisfactory to the Secretary of State.
