per mensem I propose that a Staff Officer for Volunteers should be appointed with salary of £600 per annum and house allowance of $75 per mensem and that this Staff Officer should be a Captain of the Royal Artillery seconded for service under this Government.

I enclose a copy of an application for the appointment received from Captain A. J. Thompson, Royal Garrison Artillery, now on this station to which application are appended favourable recommendations from Colonel F. C. Kent, Commanding Royal Artillery in South China, and Colonel C. H. Darling, Commanding the Troops who is acting for Major-General Villiers Hatton, C.B., absent on leave. Major Pritchard advises me that Captain Thompson is suited to the post and a slight acquaintance I have with the Officer in question confirms this opinion.

If, therefore, the Army Council have no objection I recommend that this appointment be made from the 1st of April next.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Governor, &c
