The last Bishop I remember who acted

as referee for a medical candidate

for Hong Kong sent us a lately-

expectant-son-in-law of his, who,

think, had not been there a fortnight

when he went into hospital with D.T.,

and subsequently skipped to Japan,

leaving the Colonial Government to

regard the expenses of his passage

out as a premium paid to experience.

Let us hope that this Bishop will be

more scrupulous than the late Bishop

of.

Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 4th December, 1924.

I have the honour to inform you that

provision has been made in the Estimates for 1925 for two additional Medical Officers who are required on account of general expension and for additional duties now placed in

the charge of the Medical Department.

For one of these posts I recommend the appointment of Dr. Henry Lechmere Clift who, though over the usual age for such appointments, has considerable local

experience and knowledge of Chinese which will prove most

valuable.

Dr. Clift has for some months been assisting

in the Medical Department pending the appointment of Medical

Officers from home and has proved most satisfactory.

I enclose P/1 forms completed by Dr. Clift and, as his references are in China, two copies of Form P/7 completed by his referees.

I have the honour to be,

sir.

Your most obedient humble servant,

7.8. Shutt

Governor, &c.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
