the ordinary fees of the office : When before he arrived in Hong Kong he probably had no idea that there were any ordinarily attached to the office; at any rate he could have no idea that they were appreciably to increase the value of the appointment.

He accepted it as an appointment worth $B) per year & nothing else.

But I am not sure that he might not be allowed to retain the fees received as Advocate?

I see no reason why he should retain the "costs. "Counsel's fees" in actions which he successfully fights for the Crown, which is surely part of his ordinary duty?

What is the practice in your Colony as regards fees in civil cases when costs are recovered by The Crown?

1. When the A.G. has private practice.

2. When he has not.

The Crown Agent gives it by Salary in lieu of fees for doing its work; and if under the Law relating to Crown Agents any fees received from litigants they are treated as belonging to the Crown.

Where the A.G. has no private practice.

The point has not to my knowledge been raised. Mr. Courtney's minute (inbound Vol.) runs with Mr. Fairfield's & partly covers the case; but see your own reply - (at p. ...).
