vacation leave for each twelve months’ resident ser- 
vice, which may be accumulated up to six months, 
the time occupied in journeying to and from the place 
at which the leave is to be spent, not exceeding the 
time necessary for a voyage to England and back, 
being allowed in addition. 
In Fiji and the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony 
vacation leave may be accumulated up to four and a 
half months, but this privilege does not apply where 
the leave is to be spent in the Colony. 
In the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, vaca- 
tion leave is allowed at the rate of five days for each 
month of resident service, plus the time occupied 
on voyages up to two weeks each way. Half-pay leave 
not exceeding six months at one time may be com- 
muted for half the period on full pay. 
113. In the case of judicial or educational officers, 
such vacation leave may extend to, but must not 
exceed, the ordinary vacations of the Court or in- 
stitution to which they belong; and they may 
generally, when absent on half-pay leave, receive full 
pay during any ordinary vacation of such Court or 
institution which may occur during the period of their 
leave of absence. In Colonies where there is no 
ordinary vacation of the Court or no vacation ex- 
ceeding one month at one time, a judicial officer may 
have the leave allowed to ordinary civil officers. 
114. If the officer intends to spend any portion of 
his vacation leave in Europe, the Governor should 
send a report to the Secretary of State similar to that 
required when half-pay leave is granted (Regulation 
121). There is no abatement of salary during vaca- 
tion leave; but the leave must be duly recorded and 
arrangements must have been made, and approved by 
the Governor, for the adequate. discharge of the 
officer’s duties without cost to the public except in 
very special circumstances.
