My Lord,

In reply to paragraph 3 of Your

Lordship's despatch No. 330 of the 24th. of last December,

I have the honour to inform you that it has always been

the custom to state on the leave certificate of an officer

would become entitled to an increment during the time he

was on leave. In order to prevent the occurrence of an

oversight such as appears to have occurred in Mr. Darby's

will

case the form of leave certificates would in future be

altered so as to show clearly what increments an officer

earns during his leave of absence.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Mangany

Governor, &0.

THE EARL OF CREWE,
