As the Secretary of State is aware, the Clerkship at Hong Kong has for some time past been filled by the appointment of Clerks from the Head Quarters Establishment of the Colonial Audit Branch, but, owing to the exceptional cost of living in that Colony and the small salary assigned to the post, it has only been possible to send out Clerks who had some private means.

The Comptroller and Auditor General has recently had the Hong Kong Audit Staff under consideration, in connection with a general scheme for the reorganization of the Colonial Audit Branch, and, in view of the importance of the work at Hong Kong and the fact that the Local Auditor is frequently...

Under Secretary of State,
COLONIAL OFFICE.
