MR. JOHN KNOWLES.
The following is an extract from the instructions to Mr John Knowles, the Secretary to the Home Commissioners: —"Your salary will be paid here, commencing from the date of your leaving New Zealand, at the rate of four hundred pounds (<£4oo) per an num, with an additional travelling allowance at the rate of ten shillings (10s) per diem while on board ship, and while you are in England at the rate of one pound (<£l) per diem. If you are required by the Commissioners to travel away from London, your ac tual travelling expenses will be paid by the Commissioners. In order to provide you with funds till you reach London (for payment of passage, &c), the Government will advance to you one hundred and twenty pounds (.£120) for which you will account, through the Commissioners, to the Treasury. The duration of this arrangement will of course depend on the Commissioners, but it is understood that your passage back to New Zealand will be paid, and the same allowance as that given to you on your passage to England granted "
