Sir,

I have the honour to transmit to you the

enclosed memorial addressed to you by Mr. Ng-Kwai-Shang, 2nd,

Clerk in the Magistracy of this Colony.

2. In 1895 the memorialist was retired on a

pension, consequent on the abolition of his office. The pension

however, was a temporary one, and conditional on the Government

failing to find any future use for Mr. Ng's services. This was

clearly stated on his pension paper, a certified true copy of

which is enclosed.

3.

During his temporary retirement the memorialist entered into commercial business, and became the partner

of a firm in which he sank a certain amount of irredeemable capital.

4. In 1897 the Government recalled Mr. Ng to

its service, and as Civil Service Regulations do not permit of

its officers taking pecuniary interest in commercial undertakings,

Mr. Ng found himself faced by the alternative of forfeiting his pension or relinquishing his commercial pursuits.

5.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
