received from the Colonial Surgeon and from Doctor Birkett of Russel Square, the latter I believe, considered by the faculty, to be one of the most eminent authorities and able writers on the disease of "Bright's disease" ( "Morbus Brightii") under which I suffer, and who has had my case before him ever since my return from China in August last year.

Before leaving Hong Kong, with only six days notice, and in hourly danger of death, Doctor Murray intimated to me, that my disease might be considered incurable, and beyond the power of medicine to subdue. Doctor Birkett, I am sorry to say, has clearly expressed that opinion in his certificates. (Dr. 3, enclosed.)

I entered the Government Service on the 15th March 1844 and served until the 1st June 1849, in Hong Kong, being five years, two months and sixteen days.

I rejoined on the 22nd May 1857, and served until the 6th June 1859, when I left for Europe on my private sick leave, being a further term of two years, one month and nineteen days.

In all "Seven years, four months and five days" service. Particulars as follows: - Police Clerk, under Sir Henry Pottinger, 15th March 1844. Clerk and Interpreter to Marine Magistrate's Court, under Sir J. F. Davis, 1st March 1845. Officiating Registrar General, 16th July 1845.
