2) I gather from the letter all that the office of Examiner of Weights & Measures is Pensionable. He has clearly not hitherto been pensioned on Emoluments of $1547 (including Allowance for the $488 behind as his Emoluments are made up of his Actual salary & fees.

Then the question arises if he is pensioned for his services as Examiner of Weights & Measures; should that Pension also be reduced 20%. I am inclined to think he should get a full Pension. I don't feel sure on this point. Ask if a Pension on these Emoluments should be awarded on the scale entitling him to $240.

...agree by the full Pension on these Emoluments, always provided that his conduct as Inspector of Weights & Measures was of a satisfactory character and that his retirement was on resignation & not dismissal.

4) As to granting him a police discharge to that effect; On these points write to Gov. as in Dunlop's case on XCR(85)72.

6) As to the passage saying that if Stauton would have been entitled to it in the ordinary course, it should certainly be refunded to him, and that he should be dealt with in the same way as in cases where gratuities have been granted irrespective of this matter.

JARE paragraphs "if it would have been granted in Hongkong should not, I think, be removed."

4) The prohibition against his residence. Copy to Gov. for information asking for the Statutory Declarations in CLA and taking the opportunity of marking for reply to our Despatch on 28425 TCM 284288.

11/5 - of HBLI.

...and we agree with J. Warnaghtin, (except regards the pension in respect of the office of Examiner of Weights & Measures) but this was written before the receipt of the declarations enclosed in Despatch 16378.

I should write again with suggestions for J. Warnaghtin, adding in a confidential despatch, Quinon's views.
