Sir,

Supreme Court, Hongkong,

26th. June, 1912.

C.0.

40735

Rece RECE 43 DEC 12)

I have the honour to request that you will

kindly forward to the Hon. Colonial Secretary for the consider-

ation of His Excellency the Governor my application for either

a transfer to some other Department or an increase of my present

salary. I have now been ten years without any increase of salary

whatever and on account of the difference in exchange, I am

8 now actually drawing about $45 less a month than I drew years

ago.

During the last decade the cost of living has

greatly increased and my present salary is insufficient to

keep myself and family.

I have been five years in my present post and

during that time have always endeavoured to give satisfaction

to my superiors and I trust have succeeded in doing so; but as

I see no chance of promotion in the Interpretation Sub-depart-

ment, I would respectfully request that I be transferred to some;

other department where I shall have some prospects of bettering

myself.

The Registrar,

Supreme Court.

I am,

etc.

A. J. Mackie

Third Interpreter.
