work thrown upon him, has lasted since the 30th. June,
1909, and Mr. Lee-Jones, who is the third in the series of
Deputy Registrar to have extra work so thrown upon him,
must, I consider, be granted extra remuneration for his
extra work. I therefore recommend that a gratuity of
$500 be given to him. The amount of extra salary which
Mr. Lee-Jones would have drawn had he been permitted to
receive one-third of half Mr. Melbourne's salary would
have been $521.21.

Mr. Melbourne is due to return
to Hongkong on the 12th. proximo and as both Deputy
Registrars of the Supreme Court will then be present in
the Colony, the difficulties caused by acting appoint-
-ments will cease for the time being.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Amaz
Officer Administering the Govern-
-ment.
