correspondence, which has passed between Sir G. William Des Vœux, the War Office, and the Colonial Office, with reference to the question of removing all the Military Departments to Causeway Bay, and suggesting that inasmuch as that question is now receiving attention it would hardly be opportune to appoint the Committee alluded to in my despatch No. 156 of the 22nd of May last.
12202/2. Your Lordship will see, on referring to paragraph 8 of my despatch, that I did not propose the appointment of a Committee, which had already been appointed some time previously by Sir G. William Des Vœux, but that I stated my desire to continue its sittings in order that several questions which had long been pending between the Military and Civil authorities might be solved.
