Hatchett Copyist in the westindia Uppercourt.
P. B.. Hatchett, Copyist in the Westindia Up
p%ercourt, shall on his dismissal from the said
post be allowed a pension of $240 p. a., to be
betrayed equally from each of the Colonial
Treasures.
The enactments contained in S. 6, 0 and Is
Of the Pension Law of 4th December 1868 shall
be applicable with regard to the a~bovemention-
ed pension.
The Motives on which the foregoing Draft of
Ordinance is based are as follows:
The COpyist in the Upper Court, P. B..
Hatchett has for a period of about S months
been suffering from ill-health, so that his duties
in the Upper-COurt have had to be discharged
by other persons temporarily authorized, and
the Government has therefore, in view of the
oPPNA COUtO CPACoCHtnGlOH VI lulS uiSdlISldC--
tory state of things, on the 3Oth of March last
definitively dispensed him from the discharge
of his duties, but allowing him to enjoy for a
period of 2 months the additional salary allow
ed him besides the half salary, until the ques
ton of granting him a pension can be decided.
Copyist Hatchett has been appointed by
Government in the aforesaid post since the 28th
of August 1857, after his having previously
for a period of about l6 years been acting as
writer in the Governments Secretarv's Office
and since 18th December 1853 been EMPLOYED
by the then Secretary in the Upper-Court's Of
flee as clerk there. That Functionary had
given him certificates of his diligence, regulari-
ty and punctuality in the discharge of his du-
ties, and the Government is aware that the
Chief-Judge who retired last year has likewise
been always we'll satisfied with his attendance
to his duties He is about a years of age,
and agreeable to a medical certificate dated
3Oth March last he suffers from great nervous
debility.
