CO129-341 - Acting Governor May Governor Lugard - 1907 [7-10] — Page 272

CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

There is no doubt that the proceedings against the Hon. Dr. Atkinson were somewhat irregular, because, on the two occasions when that Hon. gentleman recommended my dismissal, I was not informed of the intention to do so, or of the fact that the recommendations had been done.

I respectfully beg to draw your Lordship's attention to the fact, which is pre-eminent and which no amount of equivocation can alter, that had it not been for my strong reliance on the worth of Government employment, and my unshaken faith in the probity of everyone connected with the Government, in 1905, I would not have been a refugee in the East in 1907.

My Lord, I deeply regret to have made this communication so lengthy; as I understood it, my object was to bring in a good deal of seemingly unnecessary, but by no means irrelevant details.
