Sir,

give the Colonial Agents the requisite authority for the payment
to me of salary during my detention in England.

Elliot to Crown Agents, 31 March 1866, authorizing them to
continue Seymour's half salary until further notice.
Minutes by CO staff
By the letter of the 7th Novr the Agents were told to
reckon the full salary at £3,000 a year. Since that date the Salary has been increased to £4,000, but by a Clause in the Ordinance no payment can be made under it till HM's confirmation has been duly proclaimed. We have not heard that this has been done, tho' there can be little doubt that Mr Birch has taken the neccessary steps for the purpose. Yet I suppose we cannot authorize Mr Seymour's receiving the increase?
