:

contained in my letter of appointment dated September 12th

1905 (6863/05 0.0.D.) over-ruled General Order 36 (1).

I however, respectfully submit that this phrase

is either expressed or understood with regard to all

officers on sterling salaries and that it was not original-

ly intended to place ne on en entirely separate footing.

Further, I an quite sure, that had I been appointée

to the Government Civil or Victoria Hospital, no question

would have been raised with regard to my right to occupy

the free quarters there provided. This, I think, is borne

out by the decision of His Excellency the Governor, conveyed

to me by a letter dated February 12th 1906, and therefore I

feel sure that General Order 36 (1) may equally be applied to me with regard to this allowance which is available and

at present lapsing to Treasury.

5. Again I respectfully submit that if it had been originally intended that my letter of eppointment was to over-ride General Order 36 (1), mention would have been made

of that General Order in my letter of appointment and the

General Order would subsequently have been altered so as to

govern the terms of my appointment.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

?

William B. A. Moore.

Medical Officer to Victoria Geol.
