I have the honour to report that Mr. E.
Abbott, an increase to whose salary had been approved by your
Despatch No. 121 of the 12th. ultimo, died in the Goverment
Civil Hospital on 22nd. April last, as notified in the en-
closed copy of a letter from the Acting Principal Civil
Medical Officer.
2.
On the 9th. instant, I telegraphed to you
asking you to select and appoint a new Vardmaster at a salary
of 1866 per annum rising to $1,046 per annum.
3.
This Officer is required to act as Vard-
master at the Kennedy Town Hospital, and I have filled up the
post of Assistant Wardmaster at the Lunatic Asylum, vacated by
Mr. Abbett's death, by the mppointment of a Chinese, Tong Po
at a salary of $20 a month.
4.
I shall not enter in the 1902 Estimates
the increased rate of salary sanctioned før the late Mr.
Abbett as Assistant Wardmaster at the Lunatic Asylum, but
shall retain the present salary on these Estimates to enable
ms to engage any suitable European wke nay present himself.
The arrangements set out in this Despatch
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
