Hong Kong Advocate,

but not any of the fees hitherto drawn by

my predecessors Attorneys General.

I am unable to admit that the telegram in which

was offered

the appointment of Attorney General at a salary of $7000 per

annum

that private

"Practice" gave

any

hint

to expect

Further

any emoluments

beyond the stated.

327

As the A.G. is no

longer to be allowed

to retain fees in cases where costs

are

recovered by the Crown

in Civil actions

from

an adverse litigant,

I have to instruct

you that the firm should in future

not claim Counsel's fees

in such actions; but only expenses out of pocket. This rule has recently

been

laid

down in other Crown

Colonies.
