THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1895.
12. During the year I have reported fully as to the improvements which should be made in the Gaol. If my recommendations be approved I trust that by the close of the present year the yard space in the male prison will be increased and that proper accommodation will be provided for female prisoners.
13. I forward herewith the usual returns.
The Honourable
THE ACTING Colonial SECRETARY.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
