Mr Brown informs me that Mr Boulton, who has joined the Public Service only recently, was unaware of this Rule, and at the request of Mr. Boulton I forward copy of a letter in which he asks that under the circumstances he be allowed to accept an honorarium, which his Chinese friends desire to offer him.

Enclosure dated 11th Septbr. 1890.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,
I. Fleming
