With reference to Lord Passfield's despatch

No. 151 dated the 2nd June, 1930, I have the honour

in accordance with Colonial Regulation No. 278 to

request your approval of the writing off of the sum

of $1,074.30.

On the 30th March, 1937, a Chinese clerk

employed by the Medical Department and an unarmed

Indian guard who accompanied him were attacked on

the road leading to the Victoria Hospital by a band

of men armed with heavy poles. They were overpowered

and a bag containing cash and cheques intended for

payment of the salaries of the Hospital Staff was

carried off by the robbers.

The sum in question represents the amount

stolen less the cheques and fifty eight cents in

cash recovered.

I have the honour to be,
