No. 3470/24.

I agree with Mr. Walker's minute about the

payment of salaries, but I am in some doubt as to

whether in this particular case the Officer's Head of

Department (or whoever authorised the payment of

Mr. Witchell's salary into the Bank for the month of

December 1938), was not guilty of negligence.

The effective date of dismissal might

conceivably take a short while to be fixed by the

Administration, but the payment of his salary while

the matter was, (presumably) under consideration

must have been due to an unfortunate oversight (to put

it at its best).
