Although this despatch does not
explicitly answer the points raised
in our despatch No. 82, viz.
(1) as to Chinese not holding too
important a place in the Exam (2) as to the advisability of introducing
nomination before the Exam instead
of leaving the Governor to choose from
the list after the Exam.
These two points have been considered in
drawing up the enclosed Regulations (1) which give English, instead of Chinese the prominent place in the training; (2) provide for nomination, and lay down
rules for the same.
