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

affected by the acquisition of the New Territories and the development of the Colony generally, which matters do not officially affect the situation of the Department.

I would further remind that it was only after my renewed applications, strongly supported by His Excellency, Frederick Lugard, that the consent of the Colonial Office was obtained to the appointment of a second Assistant D.C., which I pointed out to be necessary to cope with the work.

As regards my report, I fear that any difficulty would, in Mr. Pitcairn's case, be aggravated by his failing. His grumbling is unbearable to everybody who comes in contact with him.

I am, Sir,

The obedient Servant

W. Chatten.
