Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland, 19th April, 1852. HIS Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to direct the following Circular and Enclosure to be published for general information. By His Excellency's command, Andrew Sinclair, Colonial Secretary. Downing-street, July 22, 1851. Sir, — It has been suggested to me by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, that it would be very desirable, in submitting for the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, the claims of Civil Officers serving in the Colonies to retired allowances, that such recommendation should be accompanied by a statement, shewing at what period the Officers so recommended are expected to retire from active service, whether on forwarding their application after reduction, or after having passed a Medical Board, or whether on the receipt of the authority for the required superannuation, or at whatever other time, as the case may be. The inconvenience of applications from distant Colonies, for a subsequent consideration of the intermediate term of service between the Governor's recommendation and the confirmation by Her Majesty's Government will be thereby avoided, and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury will be enabled to fix the date at which the respective allowances will be chargeable in the accounts to be rendered to the Commissioners of Audit, or to make the requisite provision for payment in those cases in which the letired allowances are to be defrayed by this Country. I take this opportunity of transmitting to you a Printed Form, shewing the particulars required by the Act 4 & 5 William IV., c. 24, and the Treasury Minute, dated the 21st June, 1831, to be furnished in lefetence to each Person recommended for a Mipei animation Allowance ; and it will be veiy desirable that the same Form should be used in submitting any such recommendation in favour of any Officer serving under your Government. I have, &c, Grey.

Statement according to the Superannuation Act, that the applicant "has discharged his duties with diligence and fidelity, to the satisfaciion of the Head Officer or Officers of his Department," to be signed by any two of such Head Officers, if theie shall be more than one, or by such Head Officer, if there should be but one, together with ' such a statement as will exhibit the merit, and value, and labour of the services of the Person recommended, embiacing as long a period of his public service as can be authentically stated," together with observations as to Special Services, Mispension, Reprimand, &c, with full paniculars of any injuries received on duty, or other claims or matters for consideration.

* Nnte. — When a Temporary Allowance is intended, the applicant should draw a line through the word '• Superannuation," or vice vena. t " My Lords consider themselves warranted in ordi- " nary cases to grant an allowance equal to about 4-sths " of the sum authorized by the Act, but they will con- " sider it tbeir duty to awaid a lower rate in cases " where the services of thu parties or circumstances " lead them to consider a less sum will bo proper; and *' My Lords will grant an allowance, either of the high* " est amount, or at a rate between 4-sths and the whole '• amount authorized by the Act, according to the merits " of each casd whenever they appear to entitle the party '' to more than the ordinary allowance." — Exit act Jiom Treasury Minute dated 21st June, 1851.
