For the information of the Gentlemen of the Colony; but I am to request that.

You will observe to Earl Grey that the Advance of the whole Sum applied for must obviously comprise, in calculations to probable Amount of such Allowances.

Participations of Mr. Seelwry, Hare's full Salary for a considerable period after his Arrival at Hong Kong, which would come to be in many respects objectionable.

Liberality Servants.

Mr. Merivale. I suppose that this result must be communicated to Mayer Blackall. But then a man is about to go to a place where after expenses rather hard to allow him no more than an advance of so much of half salary as will be due to him for the time consumed in getting to his post. He will receive an appointment of Restriction. In this case two months on this journey to £20 odd.

The private communication will be entitled to caution. I suppose the official rules score. I am afraid the Treasury is right in principle.

Sir,

Treasury Chambers

26th March 1849.

With reference to your Letter of the 11th January last, I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, for the information of Earl Grey, that the Salaries of Seelwry to the Assistant Clerk under the Colonial Secretary, and to the Chinese Clerk in the Police Department, having been provided for in the Estimates of Expenditure of the Government of Hong Kong for the Year 1849 which have been sanctioned, My Lords do not dissent from the Approval which Earl Grey proposes to signify to the Governor for those Increases.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Norman Merivale
