These special officers who will act under Sir Herbert Morgan have undertaken to give their services temporarily for a period of from six to eight weeks. One of these officers is in general charge and is being paid 150 guineas; the others will receive amounts in no case exceeding 60 guineas with the exception of four who are giving their services free. In all cases travelling and subsistence allowances will be paid on the usual scale. I have no precise information as to their ages; they have been selected on the ground of special experience and qualifications for the work allotted to them.
