sir,

(On Circuit)

The Chief Justice's Chambers,

Kandy, 16th May, 1922,

Pension Minute.

I have the honour to draw Your Excellency's attention to a question which is likely to arise in connect- ion with paragraph (1) A. recently added to section 21 of the Pension Nimite, and which may affect my own eventual rights under that paragraph,

Part of my Colonial service, prior to my appointment to Ceylon, took place in the Bahamas, where for

little over four years I served as Attorney General. According to the law of that Colony the Attornev Generalɛhip was a pensionable office, but there was a general provision

of the pension law, the effect of which was to debar any public officer from drawing the pension he would otherwise have earned, unless he had served ten years under the Bahazias Government, notwithstanding the fact that he may, after transfer from the Bahamas, have served more than that period in the service of the Crown elsewhere. The constitut- ion of the Bahamas is on the same model as that of the American Colonies before the revolution, and the Assembly has consequently complete control of legislation and finance. The Secretary of State has frequently remonstrated with the Assembly and pointed out the unfairness of this state of the law, but as the object and result of the provision referred to is practically to cenfine the right tomceive a pension te persone born in the Colony, his remonstrances have always been fruitless. The result as regards myself is that I shall draw no pension from the Bahamas Goverment in respect of my service in that Colony.

His Excellency

The Governor,
