Hongkong, 10th.October, 1908.
With reference to the new Colonial
Office Rules Nos. 76 and 77, I have the honour to state
that an Officer of this Government has recently been called
upon to discharge at the same time the duties of two
distinct offices neither of which was his own, while being
relieved by another Officer of the duties of his own
office, and I shall be glad to know what salary should be
allowed to Officers in such cases
(a) when the offices are distinct and separate
offices in different Departments:
(b) when the offices do not stand to one another
in any intimate relation of superiority and subordination,
as in the case of two Magistracies:
(c) when offices are in an intimate relation of
superiority and subordination.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE,
80...
800.
&C.
