Having served three years and more in the Colonies under your Lordship, I trust you will considerately permit me to submit that the suddenness of my removal from employment by the abolition of the Treasury ship at Hongkong constitutes of itself a grievance which found me unprepared.
A material change, especially when I had remained longer in Office, one year longer in Office at Hongkong, I should have been entitled to add seven years' services in that Colony — where only five years have been allowed me.
I also take leave to urge upon your Lordship's notice that during this period, I was in actual employment for 36 months, and for 12 months I was sick. During my tenure of Office at Hongkong, where I was entitled yearly to two months' vacation leave on full pay, I did not avail myself of that indulgence. Therefore, I may not be deemed importunate if I solicit from your Lordship that I may be permitted to count in aid of my pension the two years of additional service to which I would have been entitled had I remained in Office at Hongkong until the 7th of March next, 1872.
Furthermore, I respectfully solicit that as my recall from Hongkong was irrelevant to any action on my part, your Lordship may be pleased...
