X in the above minute does not
represent so far as my experience goes ordinary
Colonial practice.
Normally, the date of
confirmation does not affect an officer's seniority
unless confirmation is delayed through an officer's
own fault in circumstances in which a penalty is
regarded appropriate.

It is clear that arbitrary decision
must be taken in regard to the seniority of these
three officers. Mr.Wilby is 31. In December 1935
when he was transferred to Hong Kong he had had just
over seven years' Colonial Service and he started in the
Hong Kong salary scale at £710. Mr.Walton is nearly
28.
In December 1935 he had just four years' Colonial
Service.
He started in Hong Kong at £500 the
minimum of the scale.
Mr.Dyer is nearly 32. He also
had in December 1935 just over four years' Colonial
Service, and started at £500 in Hong Kong. He had been
retrenched from the Gold Coast in October 1932 and was
appointed to Hong Kong in September 1934.
