The cost of the Appointment of Superintending. I will avoid giving further consideration to requiring No Furlough to be secured for the poor man from this to ensure Performance. This is because it appears to me that a selection would be conducive to the good of the Service and important to the family for posts in the rank of those who alone can be procured for an appointment of this nature and I can warrant the requirement. We have not had any. Then there is no Tomlin in Hongkong.
