20 Financial. Hong Kong, 24th March 1856.
I take the liberty of forwarding to you a copy of a Letter I have addressed to Mr. Wilson, on the subject of establishing a sterling currency in this Colony, for disposal.
By letter dated 24 Feby off with Lord Labouchere's reply thereto.
Disposed of 20 March 1856.
Ride for the purpose of examining British coinage and their decimal divisions.
I consider the present state of currency and accountancy most inconvenient, complicated, and costly, and that great advantage
The Right Honourable
H. Labouchere, M.P.,
