in countries paying in silver. The hardship in Mr. Wood's case

is that before he first joined, the salary was represented to

him as being equivalent at least to £400 a year by Mr. Chadwick,

who on behalf of the Crown Agents offered him the appointment.

Mr. Wood has, I understand, full authority for quoting Mr. Chad-

wick's letter to him regarding this mistake as given in paragraph

20 of his memorial for promotion in the Colony or by transfer

(C.S.O.3437 of 1896.)

The reply of the Right Honourable the Secretary of

State to Mr. Wood's last memorial, as quoted by him in this

letter, seems to imply that, although the salary attached to the

appointment could not be raised then (1898), it might at some

future time be increased. I will be glad, therefore, if His

Excellency the Governor will sanction the inclusion of $50 a

month increase from the 1st January next subject to the Secre-

tary of State's approval.

I have &c.
