6. With reference to my request for permission, on the expiration of my leave, to remain in the Foreign Government's service should I wish, precedents occur in the cases of Dress? Hospool and Richey, as referred to in "Aures" (that are of somewhat similar nature).
7. Whilst it is not unusual for Officers to draw profit from two separate governments at the same time, there are cases - I recall to mind those of Chinese Turnkeys Jung Hung and Wong Yi - where, having commuted their pensions in the Hong Kong Government, they have been employed in the same Government, drawing pension in addition to pay.
I should here mention, for your lordship's information, in respect to the vacation leave of 32 months, should it be considered that twenty-four months' service is necessary before vacation leave can be granted, that of four years in 1849 only two were granted, although recommended by the Colonial Secretary and Commandant General.
I understand the objection was that I had applied too late, but this was a bit unavoidable as I could not very well apply for leave at a time when Mr. Deane's expected arrival to reassume charge of the Department necessitated the presence on the spot of the Officer in whose charge were the extensive Police Accounts, as I took the liberty of pointing out.
Thus, in nearly six years' service, I received but six months' vacation leave.
