The point is that the C.J. claims the right

to have out of the Colony during the Court vaca-

A

tion in addition to six weeks vacation leave such

as an ordinary Civil Servant gets. It is out

of the question. If the C.. remains in the

Colony during Court vacation he can have six

weeks vacation at another time, but if he goes

away during Court vacation that must count as

part of the six weeks. Even so he is better off

than other officers, since he gets a local holi-

day besides ordinary leave.

& reply that the C.J. cannot have more

than six weeks full pay leave out of the Colony

in respect of any one year, whether the leave occurs

during Court vacation or not.

Hongkong, 23rd. August, 1906.

Referring to Mr. Lyttelton's despatch

No.22 dated the 7th. February, 1905, enclosing a let-

ter from Mr. C.P.Lucas to Mr. (now Sir) F.T.Piggott,

on the subject of the treatment of Judges in this

Colony in the matter of vacation leave, I have the

honour to enclose copies of correspondence which has

taken place with Sir Francis Piggott since he has been

in Hongkong from which it will be seen that he claims

that leave of absence granted to the Chief Justice on

full pay during the Court vacation does not count as

part of the 3 months vacation leave in 2 years to

which, an there is no vacation in this Colony exceed-

ing one month at one time, he is entitled as an ordin-

ary civil servant.

2. I do not consider this contention is

supported by No.133 of the Rules and Regulations of

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
