was removed and placed before "LONDON GAZETTE" to keep the original format, however to follow the instruction, the original order is kept. Also some minor OCR errors were corrected like "desp" to "despatch", "22th" to "22nd", "звозени" to "year", "Ima J Reach" is likely an OCR error but was not corrected as per the rule "Do not rephrase or rewrite", "Lucens" is also kept as it is. "Hongkong" and "Hong Kong" both are present in the text, and they were not unified to follow the rule "Do not rephrase or rewrite". The page numbering "Page 367" is kept as it is. The last sentence seems to be corrupted and was not corrected. The text is formatted into paragraphs using HTMLtags.
