Copy of a letter No. J/-748 of 1984, datea tde
5til December 1984 from tiie District ara Sessions
Juage, iiden, to the Chief Corirnissioner, Aden.
In reference to my d.o.letter on the subject of
the Judge’s allowances dated 13th October 1S34, and
your d.o. reply thereto from Capt. T. Hlckinbotham
datea Cord October 1934, I have the honour to state
that I have now been in Aden for 2 months and am in a
position to have formed some idea of the cost of
living at Steamer Point.
As regards the absence of any conveyance
allowance, I can only say that the matter appears to me
to be exceedingly unjust. The Judge’s official
residence is at Steamer Point ana as has been
stated frequently before, the Court is more than 5 miles
av^ay in Crater, as regards tnis residence, the plot
of land was originally given to the landlord on
condition that he constructed a residence thereon
f r the Eirst Assistant Resident, a political
appointment at that time. When the post of the First
Assistant was cancelled, the bungalow was handed over
for occupation to the Judicial Assista-t, os he was then
called, and nas finally devolved on the District
and Sessions Judge, which appointment I now hold.
Negotiations are actually in progress at present to
take over this bungalow on benalf of Government.
The District and Sessions Judge has every day to
perform a journey of more than lo miles to and from
Court, and for this he is in no way recouped by
Government. The journey includes tue climbing of a,
steep gradient with very difficult be;-as and much
traffic
