Hongkong,

and Mr. Carter, like other Officers, was

course liable to retirement on abolition of offibe

the Regulations allow an addition of years to pet-

sion in such cases, and this has been duly

granted.

In the exceptional circumstances I think he

should have a copy of this desp., with the cert.

of service in orig. In sending it, say that the

S. of S. cannot question further the

propriety of his retirement, and refer to letter

of. Oct. on 321F7,

The 1.Afr. and Higer Depts. and the C.A.

should see these papers.
