of Major-General R. G. Broadwood, Mr. E. A. Hewett and

Mr. H. Keswick) advised that Mr. Morris should be dis-

-missed from the Public Service.

2.

Prior to his offence Mr. Morris

was drawing salary at the rate of £180 per annum and con-

-veyance allowance at the rate of $180 per annum. The pay

of 2nd. Class Overseer is £165 rising to £225 by £15

triennially: and the date of Mr. Morris' first appointment

was the 12th. May, 1905. He, therefore, loses £15 per

annum and the benefit of 5 years' service as the result of

the decision of the majority of the Executive Council and

I think that in the circumstances this penalty is suffi-

-cient to meet the case.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Amaz

Officer Administering the Govern-

-mont.
