CHAPTER II.-GOVERNORS.
A. Appointment.

3. A Governor is appointed during His Majesty's pleasure, but his tenure of office is as a rule confined to a period of five years from his assumption of the administration.

B. Salary and Leave.

4. When the office of Governor becomes vacant or when the Governor is on leave, other than full-pay leave, the person succeeding to the administration of the Government, if he be an officer in the service of the Colony, shall receive half the salary of the Governor, and half the salary of his own office.

Should the person called to the temporary administration have been transferred from the public service elsewhere, he shall receive the whole salary of the Governor, if available, but in that case he shall not be entitled to any portion of the salary of the office from which he has been transferred. During the absence on leave, other than full-pay leave, of a Governor, and after the embarkation of a newly-appointed Governor, such person is only entitled to the half salary available. Whether he may also receive half the salary of the office from which he has been temporarily transferred shall depend on the arrangements made for payment of his substitute, and shall be decided in each instance by the Secretary of State.

This Regulation does not apply to European officers in Tropical Africa.

5. The leave of a Governor is regulated by special rules of local application; but in most of the Colonies the Governor may be granted leave with full salary, exclusive of entertainment or duty allowance, for a period not exceeding six weeks in any one year. In the absence of the Governor from the Colony the officer administering the Government shall receive in full any allowance provided for entertainment and also asy duty allowance.

6. If the period of a vacancy or of the absence of the Governor should exceed nine months, and there should be any salary available, reasonable arrangements shall be made, with the approval of the Secretary of State, for the increase of the salary of the temporary holder for the period of excess.

7. A Governor on appointment shall receive half salary if available from the date of embarkation for the Colony. An officer succeeding to the administration of a Government shall be entitled to be paid in respect of the day on which he assumes the administration. The officer whom he succeeds shall not be entitled to say payment for that day in respect of the administration of the Government.

8. If a Governor is transferred from one Colony to another and visits England on his way, and if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the visit is unavoidable or in furtherance of the public interest, he shall receive s a general rule the half salary of the office which he relinquishes, until the date of his embarkation from England: but if such half salary is not available he shall, as a general rule, receive the half salary of his new office. If no half salary is available from either Government, he can receive no salary.

C. Passages.

The passages of the Commissioner of Somaliland and the British Resident, Zanzibar, are paid from the funds of those Protectorates.

(2) When a Governor is appointed for less than the usual term of years the question of the amount of the passage allowance to be paid will be decided according to the circumstances of the case.

(3) The scale of allowances shown in this Regulation shall be liable to revision from time to time as the Secretary of State and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury may determine.

10. A Governor is not entitled to any passage allowance from Imperial funds when proceeding on, or returning from, leave of absence.

11. On the expiration of his term of office a Governor shall be granted a passage allowance in respect of the homeward journey of the same amount as that provided for the outward journey; but the allowance may not be drawn without the previous sanction of the Secretary of State.

12. A Governor who is relieved at his own request before the expiration of his term of office must provide his own passage.

13. A Governor transferred to another appointment before the expiration of his term of office shall receive such passage allowance as may be determined by the Secretary of State and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to be appropriate in the particular circumstances of the case.

14. A Governor who is transferred while in the United Kingdom on leave, other than final leave at the expiration of his term of office, and who does not return to his old Colony, shall receive the authorised passage allowance from England to his new Colony. If the usual route from his old to his new Colony is via England he may also be granted at the discretion of the Secretary of State a proportion not exceeding one-half of the homeward passage allowance from his old Colony to England.

D. Passages in His Majesty's Ships.

15. No passage in His Majesty's ships shall be given to Governors or other public officers at the public expense except on the application of the Governor to the senior naval officer on the station. The expense for the entertainment of such passengers will not be paid from public funds, unless the Secretary of State

approves.

16. The expense for the entertainment on board of His Majesty's ships of a Governor or other public officer must be paid to the paymaster of the ship at the end of the voyage, and, if possible, before leaving the ship. 17. The scale of allowance for entertainment on His Majesty's ships at the table of the Captain or Commanding Officer is as follows:

I. For any Governor or High Commissioner whose salary is not less than £3,000 per annum exclusive of allowances, £4 per diem for the first seven days, and afterwards 21s. a day.

II. For any other Governor, or for a Lieutenant-Governor, Administrator, or Commissioner, £3 per diem for the first seven days, and afterwards 21s. a day.

III. For the persons composing the suite of Governors, etc., 21s. a day for each male person above the age of 16; two-thirds of that sum for every female above 16; one-third for such of either sex as shall be between the ages of 7 and 16; and one-fourth for such as may be under 7 years of age.

IV. For other public officers 21s. a day for the first fourteen days, and 15s. a day afterwards: and the proportions with respect to age and sex as stated in the preceding paragraph. Payment for entertainment in His Majesty's ships is to be calculated according to the dates of the first and last dinners taken on board.

18. When a Governor or other public officer is proceeding in a ship of war on a tour of inspection which requires him to disembark at various ports, the higher rate per diem shall in general only be paid for the seven days' entertainment following his first embarkation. If there are special reasons for repeating this higher rate, it must form the subject of special representation to the Secretary of State before it is made.

19. When a Governor or other public officer disembarks for the purpose of performing bona fide public service, and has not been able to give the Captain or Commanding Officer beforehand such information as to the days on which he will be absent from the ship as will prevent expense in preparing for his entertainment on those days, one-half of the rates of allowance above authorised shall be payable in respect of such absence, and each day in respect of which such half-rates are paid shall be counted as a full day for the purpose of computing the seven or fourteen days referred to in the preceding Regulations.

CHAPTER III.-OFFICERS.
A. Appointments.

20. The Regulations as to appointment to public offices are directions given by the Crown to the Governors for general guidance and do not constitute à contract between the Crown and its servants.

21. Appointments to public offices are made by authority of His Majesty, and such offices are held during His Majesty's pleasure.
