I have laid before Lord Panmure
your despatch of the 28 ultº with its enclosure from Sir John Bowring relative to the non-appointment of Colonel Dunlop, Commanding the Troops at Hong Kong, to a seat in the Executive Council
I am to request that you will move the Secretary Labouchere to observe that Lord Panmure is of opinion that in so distant and confessedly
a Colony such as Hong Kong
the Senior Military Officer should always be a Member of the Council
