sir.
In reply to your letter NO. 1122 of the 23rd instant I have
the honour to make the following recommendation:-
The Interpretation Staff of the Magistracy is at
present constituted as follows:
Annual Salary.
1st. Chinese Interpreter -Hung Kan-ning
$1152
2nd.
3rd.
Hindustag
Chau Kwai-un
864
Cheung Tsoi
532
A. B. Suffiad
720
Hok Lo
Luk Chau-po
420
Of these Mr. Suffiad understands Chinese
quite as well as he does Hindustan, and I therefore propose that the services of Mr. Hung Kan-ning may be dispensed with
and Mr. Suffiad interpret in his place on an increased salary.
Mr. Nolan interprets the Chin chew
dialect quite as well as Mr. Lyk Chau-po if not better. I propose
The Honourable,
J. H. Stewart Lockhart,
Colonial Secretary.
