Supreme Court,

Hongkong, 21st. August, 1908.

I have the honour to acknowledge Your XCALLandy

letter of 20th. August, and to beg that the question as to ny

vacation leave may be referred to the Secretary of State.

I do not contend that I am entitied to ce absent

from the Colony during the vacation of the Court, as there ray

be special reasons why the Chief Justice should remain in the

Colony during the Court vacation, and why therefore leave of

absence is granted to the Chief Justice during the Court vaca-

tion this does not, count as Hull Fay Leave.

It may be convenient if I mention the fact that

there is no vacation in the Summary Court, and therefore the

question under fiscussion relates only to the Chief Justice.

Sir Matthew Nathan, K.C.V.G.

I have, etc.

$1.

w. T. Piggott,

Chief Justice.
