Sir,
Referring to Mr. Julyan's letter of the 11th ultimo, I have now to acquaint you that as the acceptance for £10,000 of the Agra and Masterman's Bank Limited has not been paid at maturity, the Bank of England, as the holders of the acceptance, have given formal notice of non-payment to all the parties named in it, including the Colonial Treasurer of Hongkong.
The Honorable The Colonial Secretary,
Hong Kong.
