DOWNING STREET,
9th September, 1880.
SIR--I have had under my consideration the question whether the privilege accorded to members of the Civil Service in the Colonies by Mr. Secretary CARDWELL'S Circular of 17th December, 1864, of becoming Directors of Public Companies under certain conditions can properly be continued; and 1 have come to the conclusion that it is not for the advantage of the Public Service that Civil Officers should, unless in very exceptional circumstances, be allowed to take part in the management of Asso- ciations or Partnerships.
I request therefore that it may be understood that, henceforth, public servants whose remunera- tion is fixed on the assumption that their whole time is at the disposal of the Government, will not be allowed to become Directors of Companies or Associations; and the Circular of the 17th of December, 1864, may be considered as cancelled.
I have the honour to be,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant.
KIMBERLEY.
