The Chairman stated that he was afraid the petition of the men (previously announced it a meeting held a fortnight ago) to have their pay inued at 31, 4d. to the dollar would not be readily granted, and that it was question for the members to decide whether it would not be to their advantage to draw up a memorial to the Secretary of State for the Colonies embodying a proposal to accept half their pay at 38, 44. After some discussion it was decided to wick to the original terms of the petition, the whole of their pay at 15. 4d, to the dollar-and forward it to Downing Street, through the proper channel, at the callest possible moment.
