I have the honour to enclose certain documents, in

original, to be returned, which we have received from Mr

William James in support of his claim to the balance of

pension £4-13-1 due for the period 1st January to 8th March

1895 by the Government of Hong Kong to his late son, Mir

Thomas James, formerly a member of the police force in the

Colony.

We propose, with the Secretary of State's approval

to pay the amount to Mr William James in the absence of a

will and without requiring the production of letters of

administration.

The Under Secretary of State
