In his despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong
No 44, of 27th February 1896, the Secretary of State has
ruled that the previous decision conveyed to this Department
in Mr Fairfield's letter of 14th November 1893, viz:-
that his authority was necessary for writing off arrears
was intended, more especially, to apply to cases of a
general cancellation of claims prior to a certain date.
3. The Secretary of State has further decided
that particular arrears due by specified individuals may
be written off by the Colonial Government, who are "to
"furnish to the Local Auditor, from time to time, a list
"of cases in which it has been decided to write off an
"arrear, with the cause of writing off entered against
"each case, and that, unless the Local Auditor sees
"cause to challenge the decision in any case or cases, the list
"should be accepted as a valid discharge for the Accounting
"Officer in respect of the non-collection of the item in
"question". And further, that if the Local Auditor, after
remonstrating, is not satisfied with the action of the
Colonial Government, he is to refer the matter to the
