Victoria, Honghong,
5th June, 1845.
With reference to the Instuctions in Your Lordship's despatch 8.69 . of
January 2", requiring me to report, whether the Civil Officers of Hongkong decline to avail themselves of the previsions of the superannuation act, I have the honor to state that I have been requested by thon officers to somove
observe
respectfully on their behalf that it would not be for their interest to adopt
a
schome of superannuation which,
though suited to the climate and
circumstances of service in England, does not seem applicable to this count
The Right Honorable,
The Ford Manley,
