(c). (1) that as the letter of appointment
did not refer to or exclude General Order 36 (1), that
General Order was impliedly incorporated in the terms of
appointment.
The letter of appointment excluded General
Order 36 (1) by stating that the appointment was without
quarters or allowances of any kind.
(2) that there is a house allowance
provided in the Estimates for the Medical Officer of the
Gaol which is lapsing on account of Dr. Thomson living in
free quarters during Dr. Atkinson's absence on leave.
The allowance provided for Dr. Thomson
appears in the Estimates as an allowance for an Assistant
Surgeon and not as one for the Medical Officer of the Gaol.
(3) that if General Order 36 (1) does
not apply to him, he will be treated differently from
other Assistant Surgeons, which was not intended.
The only other Assistant Surgeon on a
sterling basis is Dr. Koch who drew Dr. Thomson's house
allowance when that Officer was on leave under circums➡
-tances to which I will refer later.
