Sir,
I am directed by Lord Knutsford
to acquaint you that in his Lord-
ship's despatch sanctioning the Hong
Kong estimates for 1890 it was sta-
ted that if it were decided that any
renerel increase of salaries should
be given in Hong Kong and if the
rete of exchange for drawing sala-
ries on leave and pensions in this
country should be lowered as a con-
dition of the grant of the increased
selery, the same condition would be
applied to the increases of salary
to the schoolmasters sanctioned in
the respatch.
You were on leave of absence
when that despatch reached the Colo-
ny, but his Lordship presumes that
3 th
the above decision was in one way or
another brought to your knowledge.
