of £47.4.11, to the Superannuation Fund be returned from the Colonial Treasury.
It is not my intention to fill up the appointment vacated by the resignation of Mr. Stevenson, and the Registrar General will be instructed to confine himself more particularly to the duties of Collector of Chinese Revenue and Assistant Police Magistrate out of the Town for the present, and to perform such portions appertaining to the office of Registrar General as his future limited means will permit.
Mr. Stevenson... Six months is the shortest period for which leave of absence on Medical Certificate could have been granted to Mr. Stevenson, and his half salary for that time would have exceeded by a trifle the amount refunded to him on account of his Superannuation Subscription, added to which his claims upon the Government cease altogether. I therefore hope for Your Lordship's approval of this measure.
I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect;
Your Lordship's,
Most Obedient,
Humble Servant,
