2. I regret however to point out to you that, subsequent to the date of Carnarvon's despatch no. 18 of 18 February 1876, Mr. Marsh entered the service of Hongkong. He does not appear to be entitled to the privilege of remitting at 4/2 the dollar.

I am not aware that it has ever been decided that the above despatch should not apply to officers in Hongkong who, in the words of your despatch no.186 of 13th August last, paragraph 4, have been "for many years in the service".

The Auditor, however, might frown upon Officers writing from other parts of the Empire, where they may have already exercised the privilege of remittance; but I may mention that in the somewhat similar case of M. C. C. Smith, who was transferred to the Straits Settlements for "Hauling", it was decided that he should lose the special privilege of remitting at par as he had received substantial promotion.
