DOWNING STREET, LONDON.

13th February 1895.

With reference to your letter of the 22nd October last authorising us to pay Mr Robert Clare a pension of $120 per annum from the Government of Hong Kong, I have the

honour to state that it appears from a pension form which

has just been presented to us that he holds the Office of

Chief Engineer, Calcutta Fire Brigade under the Government

of India, and that the emoluments of that office amount to

Rs 220 per mensem. Mr Clare's late full salary in Hong Kong he gives on the form as £100 per annum.

On enquiry at the India Office, it appears however that Mr Clare's appointment is under the municipality of

Calcutta and not under the Government of India. In these

circumstances we propose, with the Secretary of State's ap-

proval, to pay the Hong Kong pension in full.

I have the honour to be,

The Under Secretary of State.
