come on to the new salary scale for that post but would be allowed to retain, in addition to the residential

I have the honour to refer to
Mr. Ormsby-Gore's despatch No.432 of 20th
November, 1936, on the subject of the revision
of the salaries applicable to the higher appointments
in Hong Kong. In paragraph four of that despatch
it was suggested that in the case of Legal Officers
the initial salary should be subject to the rule
which has been adopted for members of the Colonial
Legal Service in Africa, viz. that an officer is
allowed on appointment one increment in the scale
for every year of practice at the Bar after he
attained the age of twenty five, subject to a
maximum of four increments and to the understanding
that he remains for two years on the initial salary
as so fixed. That suggestion was adopted and put into effect on the appointments of Mr. J. Whyatt (Mr. Ormsby-Gore's despatch No.69 of 12th February, 1937) and Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., (my despatch
2/53999/39 confidential of 13th May, 1939, and your despatch 3/59999/57 confidential of 27th July, 1939), both of which
officers were given an initial salary of £850 a
year.
