7th December 1916.

I have the honour to transmit herewith a copy

of a letter which we have received from the Collector of

the Guardians, Portsmouth, respecting Mr. J.E. Baker

lately a Sergeant of Police in Hong Kong, to whom we have been authorised by that Government to pay a pension of

£52. 4.3. a year as from the 14th of July last, and to

enquire whether, in view of the circumstances stated, the

Secretary of State approves of our paying the pension to

Mrs. Baker on production of the usual life certificates

from the Asylum Authorities.

Mr. Baker has so far received payment of his

pension up to the end of October.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Phechus

for Crown Agents.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
