the following additional information on this subject, which OVL in the presence of Sir John Bowning in this Country enables him to offer.

The Colonial Regulations undoubtedly prescribe that the public apartments in Government House should be furnished at the expense of the local revenue: and nothing is said as to how the private apartments should be furnished. But the inference drawn from that silence and general practice does in fact impose that charge on the Governors which - as their Lordships observe, is usually made - a matter of arrangement between the outgoing Governor and his successor.

In the present case the state of Sir John Rowning's health compelled him to quit Hong Kong before the arrival of Sir Hercules Robinson, so that no arrangement between them was possible.
