Sir.

In reply to your letter of the lat
ultimo, I am directed by the Marquess Curzon
of Kedleston to state that His Lordship is
reluctant to apply to the Lords Commissioners
of His Majesty's Treasury for a further
increase in the allowance to be paid to the
Chief Justice of Hongkong for sitting as
Appeal Judge at Shanghai as the amount already
sanctioned does not appear to be inadequate.
2.
I am to suggest therefore for the
consideration of the Secretary of State for
the Colonies that the Chief Justice might be
asked if he is willing to accept the arrange-
ment as at present authorised before the
Treasury is again approached on the
subject.
he Under Secretary of Sta te
Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
E.Wellesley
