Correspondence black in the Public Works Department, praying that the cost of his wife's passage from Canada to Hongkong may be defrayed from Public funds.
I did not feel justified in acceding to the application when first made to me inasmuch as the case does not come under article 153 of the Colonial Regulations, but I expressed my willingness to submit it for Your Lordships' consideration and decision.
Should Your Lordship be disposed to accede to it I would suggest that an agreement be entered into of the nature mentioned in the Colonial Regulation.
I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant, I. Deming.
