be carried on Sundays.
Notwithstanding possible increase in the cost of Public Works (that might be involved) & this provision might involve, I am still of opinion that the rule ought to be enforced,
I have no desire to mistreat you, but I think that it should be reintroduced next year.
Which I trust will not amount to 10 per cent.
With reference to my despatch no. 146 of this day's date, I have the honour to refer you to Mr. Heming's Confidential despatch no. 785 of Oct: last, from which it appears that the rule against working on Sundays is not being carried out under contract at Hongkong, and that it introduces no new principle.
