sir,

I have the honour to submit for your favourable consideration the enclosed copy of a letter form the Acting Superintendent, Victoria Gaol, in which he recommends that Mr. Pung-Yuk-Kau, Clerk and Interpre- ter in the Gaol Department, should be allowed to draw his first increment this year instead of from May 1901, and that next year his pay should be raised to the Maximum salary of his post, namely $60 a month.

2. I have to point out that Mr.Pung- Yuk-Kan is not likely to benefit from the new scale of salaries for Interpreters sanctioned in your despatch No.210 of the 3rd.July, 1900, 85 he is primarily not an Interpreter but e clerk, in which capacity his work is heavy and intricate.

3. In consideration of the facts brought forward by Mr. Badeley I have the honour to rem commend that Mr.Pung-Yuk-Kan be allowed to draw his first increment of $5 a month from the first of this month, and the maximum salary of $60 a month from Janu- ary ist. 1901.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant

The Right Honourabie,

Governor, &C.,
