The points referred to
in this letter as
to converting the breaks in Foley's service, have not yet been referred out to the Colony,
because it was thought that a general despatch on Police Pensions would be written, which might embrace Foley's case.
What answer can be given to this? G.W. J. 20 March 1883 W. Meade

You will see the separate that the carson f paper attached to 7360/82 reference of this case to the Governor waiting for 2 years 8 months in order that the general Police Pension question might be dealt with at the same time has not yet been disposed of; and as it is hardly creditable to us that Foley should be kept any longer, he is entitled to a reduced pension of £30 instead of £41.13.4 if he does the higher rate, I now submit draft to Governor in accordance with the minutes on 7360/82.
S.W.9.17Feb. 1885
These delays are disgraceful to this office.

Allow me to trouble you about my brother's Service as I have received no reply since one of your letters told me you would write out to the acting Governor about it as the Governor was at home on leave and received no reply since and stated before that the Governor told me verbally before leaving Hong Kong that I would get my brother's Service counted. My brother's Service was so did Strouble no more about it. It is Sir John Pope Hennessy. It also seems you think I should write to you.
Some Pension forms have been sent...
