Lordship's approval the post of one of : the Auditors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. I did not think

that this post, which

gives no part whatever in the management of the Bank and which will occupy only a few hours twice a

year and therefore will in no way

interfere with Mr. Lister's

public duties, came within the

scope of the prohibition contained in Lord Kimberley's

Circular despatch of 9th September 1880.

I enclose a copy

of Mr Lister's letter dated 8th January and beg to

submit his application for Your Lordship's approval.

I have the honour to be

My Lord,

Your Lordship's Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

Administering the Government,
