Extracts from CS.O. W 40 of 1897.

Hon'ble Colonial Secretary.

I nghwai Shang, who, when on Staff of the Magistracy was reduced in 1895, was placed in temporary pension, should now as a Clerk be re-employed (See C.S.O. 190 of 1895). His pension is $921.60, and if he reverts to active employment his original salary being $1728, the difference between this annual sum and his pension will be only $806.40 as against $1152 drawn by Mr. Chan Rai-muy. There would then be a nett saving to the Government of $345.60 per annum by Mr. Ng Kwai-shang's re-employment.

3/8.9.1.1. 1.10.97. Assistant Colonial Secretary.

I am doubtful whether Mr. Ng Kwai-shang will accept the appointment. Please send for him and explain the position.
