RECP Reef 14 KINGS!
The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury have had before Them Mr Fairfield's letter of the 27th ultimo, enclosing a draft of the despatch which the Marquis of Ripon proposes to address to the Govem or of Hong Kong respecting the Military Contribution of that Colony.
My Lords concur in this draft, subject to the following amendments which They suggest for the considera- tion of the Secretary of State, viz:-
(1) The part of Paragraph 1 which begins with the word "after" and ends with the word "country", should form a separate paragraph, following what is now paragraph 2, which will form a proper preface to it.
(2) In paragraph 2, delete the words seem to have" following the words "Home Government in 1890".
(3) In paragraph 3, substitute *calculated" for "liable" in the last ling but three.
(4) In third line of paragraph insert "the gross" before "receipts".
The Under Secretary of State
COLONIAL OFFICE.
