As Mr. E. R. Hallifax, C.M.G., C.B.E., is due
to go on long leave on the 23rd January, I thought it best
not to disturb Mr. R. A. C. North, the Acting Secretary for
Chinese Affairs in the duties of his post. Mr. Hallifax has
accordingly resigned his seat on both Councils and Mr. North
will continue to hold these seats ex-officio.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
Governor, &c.
