the Cadet service can be made available at present except

at great inconvenience to the Public Service.

I quote these two cases as showing that the

presence or absence of the Governor has little if any bearing on the question of leave for a Private Secretary or Aide-de-Camp, and I shall be glad to know whether the leave arrangements referred to above meet with your approval.

3.

The following instances have been traced of

leave on pay granted in the past and of pay to officers performing the duties of the officers on leave:-

1910.

16010/10 (deatinged).

Gar.4387/14

Lieutenant H. C. S. Simson, Private Secretary,

three months full pay and two months sixteen

days half pay. See Governor's despatch No.142

of 27th April, 1910.

Captain P. H. M. Taylor, Aide-de-Camp, three months, less five days, full pay, and three

months and five days half pay leave.

Sir Frederick Lugard appears to have gone on

leave at the same time as his Private Secretary

and Aide-de-Camp. Sir Cecil (then Mr.) Clementi seems to have acted as Private Secretary, but whether he received acting pay or not is not clear. There is nothing to show how the acting

Aide-de-Camp was paid.

1914. Captain E. M. Conolly six weeks half pay leave

from 19th March, 1914. See Governor's despatch

of 21st January, 1914.

Lieutenant G. N. Alison, Aide-de-Camp, six weeks

half pay leave from September 10th, 1914. Second Lieutenant R. B. Hatfield, Aide-de-Camp,
