As an officer of rank holding a position next after the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer in one of the most important departments of the Colonial Government, I am called upon, socially, to spend a proportion of my earnings in articles of daily necessity which have appreciated in value fully in proportion with the low value of the dollar, and when it becomes necessary for me to transfer my yearly income to my family in England, it will be quite out of proportion to my regular disbursements which will have to be met almost entirely in sterling.
In conclusion, I wish to remark, with the other members in the service of the Hong Kong Government, I signed the petition for exchange compensation which had been submitted to the Secretary of State, but which was not favourably considered.
My individual case stands quite apart from my co-signatories in the petition referred to. I have brought it forward and beg favourable consideration.
From 1 January 1877, I have the honour to be
Your most obedient Servant
