I am directed by the Comptroller and Auditor General
to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of
State, that Mr C.C.Bowring, the Clerk in the Local Audit
Office in Hong Kong, arrived in England on leave of absence
on 20th instant.
2. Mr Bowring has drawn his salary in Hong Kong,
at the rate of $960 per annum, up to and including the 17th
ultimo, and is entitled to draw pay when on leave of absen-
ce at the rate of 4/- per dollar.
3. I am accordingly to request that the Crown
Agents may be instructed to issue Mr Bowring's pay to him
at that rate, on the production of his last pay certificate.
up to and including 17th proximo, after which date it is
proposed that Mr Bowring should cease to draw pay from Hong
Kong funds.
4. I am to add that no double payment of the
Hong Kong Clerk's salary is contemplated, as Mr E.M.Knox,
who has been selected to succeed Mr Bowring as: Clerk in
Hong Kong, will not commence to draw pay until 18th June.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant
