period in question Nr. Kennedy-"kipton's overtime has not

everaged more than one hour a day and, if his working

pressure has been high, that is no more than the common lot

of cedat officers in this service. I therefore recommend

that Ir. Kennedy-kipton should be informed that Your

Lordship is unable to intervene on his behalf.

I find no difficulty in distinguishing the

cases mentioned in the 6th and 7th paragraph of Kr. Kennedy-

Skipton's memorial. The Post Office and Sanitary Departments

are obviously distinct and separate offices within the

Meaning of Colonial Regulation 54 (5)(a) and this is equally,

though a little less obviously, true of the two offices

discharged by Mr. Williams, the Assistant District Officer

being at that time, despite his title, a wholly independent

officer administering a separate district of the liew

Territories. I may, however, say that the grant of additional pay to these officers has been challenged by the

Colonial Auditor and I a consequently obliged to seek Your

Lordship's ruling in that case also. In this connection please see my despatch Ko.511 of the 28th of November, 1929.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

huable servent,

(Sd.) C. CLEMENTI,

Governor, &c.
