no promise, & if the ultimate decision was made by him, I think it should have been made clear. I do not enter into the general question which this raises, but when we are dealing with any very important matter, I think we should be very careful both by making clear the responsibility of bother Hoy Kay & others and besides ensuring that we are not doing a measure of justice by declining it.

Mr Meade's argument is not very well put, but as far as I can see, we are here asked to admit as pensionable a service who has never yet been recognized as pensionable. This man was warned that he could not be admitted, & we are asked to do this without consulting the Governor of the Colony whose funds are concerned in establishing such a precedent, & the object is to create another very inconvenient precedent in the Colonial Civil service, MN 20/10/53.

In a letter murmuring on this held out a hope that the matter might be reconsidered. It was a mistake & told him so, but it has only resulted in "Sharks" being allowed Levaster of Contingent being done to Immediate telpapho as fupred on 17gon.

No doubt Shanghai saw it as jen of Brain g. And I RM 22/0 Japa D. 0.44. Meist od 29 lead 0C.
