I have laid before the Lords Commissioners

of His Majesty's Treasury Sir G. Grindle's letter of the 22nd ultimo 10.17417/26), and its accompanying copy of

a letter from the Foreign Office relative to the

incidence of charge of the remuneration made to the

Chief Justice of Hongkong for acting as Appeal Judge at

Shanghai.

In reply I am to request you to inform

Mr. Secretary Amery that the arrangement hitherto

prevailing under which that remuneration has been charged direct to the Hongkong Goverment's contribution

towards the maintenance of the Registry of Companies at

Shanghai is open to objection on accounting grounds, and My Lords have accordingly felt bound to decide that in

accordance with correct accounting procedure the

Hongkong Government's contribution should be credited

in gross to the Vote for Diplomatic and Consular

Inder Secretary of State,

Colonial office.
