TREASURY CHAMBERS,

12 September 1908.

Sir,

I have laid before the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury Mr. Cox's letter of the 27th ultimo (30369/1908), (with enclosures), proposing that the Judge of His Majesty's Supreme Consular Court at Shanghai should visit Hongkong twice in the year as an Appeal Judge of the Hongkong Supreme Court. My Lords gather that Sir H. de Sausmarez will receive a sum of about £275 a year from Hongkong, but that no additional expense to Imperial Funds, either in respect of salary or travelling etc., is involved by the arrangement.

Upon this understanding I am to request you to state to the Earl of Crewe that Their Lordships sanction the proposal, as a tentative measure, subject to the fulfilment of conditions (a) (b) and (c) laid down in the third paragraph of the letter from the Foreign Office to your Department of the 19th ultimo, a copy of which was enclosed with the letter under reply.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

W. Blain

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
