was in Sony Kouny for four years
When he returned to Europe
Musical certificate, and on the
expiration of his leave he recommended
an intimation that his services
be no longer required in Hong
Kong
I must state that on
Mr Stous leaving this Country he
parted, at a considerable sacrifice,
with all his Property in this Colony,
believing that his employment was
for Life-
W. Store is still willing
to give his services and I therefore
support the application
on his
behalf,
either to continue him in an
appointment equal in rank to that
of which he has been deprived, or to
obtain for him a fair compensation
for the loss of Office.
Mr Sare informs
me that
several other officers of the Harbour
Department in Hong Kong
have been reduced as well as
himself,
and that all the others have been
provided for by appointments of
advanced remunerative posts.
I have the honour to be,
Your most obedient,
Lamb Blackall
on behalf
