I have the honour to forward for your cons-

ideration a copy of a letter from Mr Ceorge

Mitchell, late Chief sick Berth steward in the

Royal Navy, in which he asks for a small pension

from Colonial funds in view of the fact that

the injury to his eyesight which necessitated

his retirement from the Navy was incurred at

a time when he had volunteered for plague duty

under the Govt of Hong Kong.

2. I enclose also copies of correspondence

with the Admiralty as to this case.

3. As Mr Mitchell's statements appear to be Ø

gode the unce

correct and,/theratere, if the Legislative

Council think fit to make some grant to him

I shall be prepared to approve their action.

I have &c.

Igends
