I have the honour to report that Mr. Gray has been invalided on account of ill health as attested by the Medical Certificate attached. Resignation had already been accepted by Sir Arthur Kennedy prior to his departure, and I have now the honour to enclose a Memorandum of Mr. Gray's services, showing that he is entitled to a pension of £82.4.5. per annum. I have granted him this pension subject to Your Lordship's approval.
Mr. Gray is highly recommended to me by the Captain Superintendent of Police, a copy of whose report I have the honour to enclose.
I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient and humble servant,
Administrator
With regard to his successor, I have provisionally and subject to Your Lordship's final approval appointed Inspector Corcoran of the Shanghai Police to succeed him.
