As I understand, under the Regulations actually sanctioned & published, leave of absence counts at the rate of one month for every 2 months of such leave, and full pay. Vacation leave, whether actually received or not, and whether the leave is spent within or without the Colony, counts at its full rate. \n\nBut under Cameron's despatch of 1876, it was ruled that half-pay leave might count for full time, provided it does not amount to more than half the recent service. \n\nThe vacation leave materially affects the value of the Concession. You will read paragraph 5. In last leave absence, this Exception was revoked by Sir Stanhope (in his despatch of October 1886) in regard to any leave taken after the receipt of that despatch. It was further directed by Lord Knutsford in May 1888, with effect retrospectively to leave taken before 1876.\n\nIf then, the rules were actually in force, to follow the Pension rules as modified & the above dictum, Mr. Thomsett would be able to count at its full rate the time during which he received half-pay in 1885-6, but not his half-pay in 1878-9 nor in 1873 and 1875.\n\nBut it appears from the papers that Lord Camaron's concession was made known through Sir Stanhope's communication to the Civil Service, that in Stanhope's despatch of Oct 1886, it was not to be published, and that the approved though unratified pension minute, which we understand that the service relies on, allows what is declared by Mr. Thomsett, I think, or is not submitted being held, except as to the period from 1st March to 31st Sept 1881.\n\nWith regard to S. Phillippo, the above dictum, and among them the second part of Lord Camaron's par. 5, `GR1178/1922/32(III)` should not, I think, be held to apply to her case. I think that this 2nd part of par 5 is in the whole right and fair.\n\nJudges in Hong Kong have always been treated under separate pension clauses and are not subject to judiciary and service rules, particularly the Crown Regulates on rules based upon the Leave regulations of the Home Civil Service, in as much as they have then and there vested rights in regard to leave.\n\nThe restrictions of the new pension minute should now be altered & dispensed with.\n\n**REWH Jan 12.89**\n\nI submit drafts dealing first with No. ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-237 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Stewart - 1888 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 344726, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-248 - Public Offices & Others - 1890", "page_number": 724, "title": "CO129-248 - Public Offices & Others - 1890", "content_text": "auditing Naval Accounts (see Sir G.

V. Ribeiro, Clerk in the Audit Office.\n\nThe Comptroller and Auditor General has also received a letter from the local Auditor upon the same subject, recommending the appointment to the post to be vacated, of Mr. Godfrey E. Taverner, son of the Acting Colonial Chaplain. Mr Nicolle states that Mr. Taverner is only 17½ years of age but that he is the most suitable candidate he has found at present and he suggests that, subject to three months probation,\n\nSir RGW Herbert KCB\n\nthe vacant", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-248 - Public Offices & Others - 1890.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 344731, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-248 - Public Offices & Others - 1890", "page_number": 729, "title": "CO129-248 - Public Offices & Others - 1890", "content_text": "It is necessary to increase that salary before long, which apparently could not be done without exceeding the total vote of $10,000 assigned to the Audit, now.

Nicollés' present salary is notwithstanding sufficiently well paid, taking into account the high rate of living, especially in Hong Kong.\n\nIf, as is understood to be the case, he draws other emoluments in connection with the audit of Municipal Accounts, it might not be a ground for increasing W. Nicollés' pay.\n\nAs regards the reduction of Staff of the Clerical Office of the Audit at Hong Kong, it is pointed out that two of the clerks of the Dept. have recently been transferred to other departments where the work will be increased under the new arrangements.
