issue instructions on behalf of His

You stated in the first
Faragraph of your despatch that
Commander Hole and Dr. Moore had been
appointed to the two additional
official seats on the Council. One of
these is however the new ex-officio
seat occupied by the erson for the
time being lawfully discharging the
functions of Secretary for Chinese
Affairs, which, as you state, is to
continue to be held by Mr. North. There
is therefore only one further seat for
a nominated official, and this will be
filled by the appointment of Commander
Hole.
