Agents and personnel of the 25th, 18th and 20th Battalions were clearly considered.

But services in connection with recruiting were fully considered and dealt with in Executive Council at that time.

From the date I joined the Under-Secretariat in March 1871, having passed the local service examination in 1872 with retroactive effect, there can be no question about that.

The position being a fully settled one, whether I drew salary or not will not influence the matter, and therefore under the circumstances, I beg to request that you will be so kind as to arbitrate the whole correspondence relative to my remuneration & Government of Hong Kong, my salary being computed from the date I joined the Under-Secretariat.

It would hardly be fair to reopen this period, when the matter has been fully adjudicated upon some 25 years before by competent authorities who had all the facts before them, that I should draw no pension at all, holding a permanent appointment and that consequently the three years' service in question should be looked upon as probationary service, especially when the portion of pay in passage money is considered.

The authorities in the Treasury and Audit Office will no doubt at once settle the matter. It is a most serious one to me and I hope under the circumstances, it will be fully appreciated, irrespective of the long standing grievance.
