Note 91 — APPENDIX TO CHAPTER XIX.

“Aug. 7th, 1849.—Summoned to the Treasury. . . . Explained to Mr. Hayter the abuses as to promotion, viz., that there is no correspondence between the rank of a clerk and his duties—that two clerks may be engaged in the same duties, the one a secretary at £300 a year, the other a junior at £70 a year. Of these facts Hayter was not aware, and thinks the practice is familiar to the Post Office.”—Sir R. Hill’s Journal.—Ed.
