I have the honour to
acknowledge the receipt of your confidential despatch of the 22nd
of February last on the subject
of the additional provision re- quired for prison purposes at
Hongkong.

urge me to reconsider the view
which I had previously expressed
that a new prison should be built,
block by block, on a site differ
that
ent from of the present prison,
A
and you submit a scheme for add-
ing to the accommodation provided
Đông của ng
by the present buildings on the
present restricted site.
2. I share your desire not
to force upon the Colony a scheme
for a new and expensive prison,if,
as I admit is probable, such a
measure would be met by protests
from
