and it will not be easy to save expenses sufficient to defray the expense of a trip home.

4.

In Mr. C. W. May's case, the certificate ought, in accordance with recent Circular instructions, to have stated that he had been granted twelve months' leave, whereof two months, viz. one month in August this year and one month in March next, were the ordinary full pay vacations of the School, and the remaining ten months were on half pay.

5. Mr. May's leave was, however, reckoned in accordance with the practice hitherto always followed in Hongkong. We had taken a month's vacation leave in 1885 and was granted consequently three months instead of four when he went home in April last.

I submit that it would be hard under the circumstances to make him refund half a month's pay, especially as arrangements have been made for the performance of his duties.
