Chinese occupants of ground at Kowloon, I have the honour to report that His Excellency The Earl of Elgin has notified to me, in letter copy of which I inclose, his appointment on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, Mr. Robertson and myself to undertake this duty.
The investigation will commence as soon as the Chinese Officers, two in number, are reported as arrived.
I have the honour to be, My Lord Duke, your Grace's, Most Obedient Servant,
Gill Robinson
