described in the despatch from the Governor of
Hongkong,
which
accompanied the letter from this Dept. of 25th May
1892, in regard to
the boundaries and the conditions attaching to the
military reserve at Kowloon. The plan inclosed
in that despatch with W. Campbell
2. The plan in question
is transmitted
herewith for convenience of reference,
& I am to
request its return
with your reply.
3. The suggestion in the
abovementioned
letter from Dept. that the value
of the site should be recorded against
the value of any
military land to be surrendered to the Colony has since been dissented from by
Lord Ripon, agreeing as his Lordship did in his letter from
this Dept. of 23rd Oct. 1894
that the Circular
of June 1890
should
not be made retrospective.
