contained in my letter of eppointment 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 me on an entirely separate footing.

Further, I am quite sure, that had I been appointed

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. ghis, 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 he 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 ry letter of appointment was to

over-ride General Order 36 (1), mentior would have been

made to that General Order in my letter of eppointment and

the General Order would subsequently have been altered so

as to govern the terms of my appoinement.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

billion B. A. Moore.

Medical Officer to Victoria Gaol,
