GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 21st. June, 1919.

My Lord,

I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of Your Lordship's Despatches Nos. 103 and 204 of the

17th. March and 29th. April regarding the retirement of Mr.

A. Pattison of the Hongkong Police Force.

2.

In view of the circumstances it would

seem to be equitable to apply to Mr. Pattison's case the

ordinary rules regarding retirement which is due to injuries

received while in discharge of duty. The Executive Council

recommend the addition of fifteen-sixtieths to the pension,

which is allowed under the rules when a man's capacity is

materially impaired; and Mr. Pattison's pension will according-

-ly be at the rate of £72 10 0, as shown in the attached

pension form.

3.

If in view of the report of the Salaries

Commission the pay of the Police is increased, I would recommend that Mr. Pattison's pension should be recalculated upon the basis of the new rate of pay of his post.

I have the honour to be, My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Claud Tevem

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,
