To mention that Mr Brenaecher, a Subscriber to the Superannuation Fund during the twelve years he has served in the climate of Hong Kong, is quite destitute of means, and that his state of health is such as to render him utterly helpless. I have elsewhere alluded to the state of Mr. Brenaecher previous to his departure, and to the inefficiency of the staff of the Colonial Treasury for some years back.

These causes will to a great extent explain the errors of Mr. Brenaecher, and under the circumstances I do not hesitate, on the strength of Mr. Brenaecher's past services to suggest to His Excellency The Governor to recommend the grant of a Pension on his resignation of the office of Colonial Treasurer, a step which I am informed is contemplated by him.
