sir,
Charibers,
Supreme Court, Hongkong,
(undated.)

I am glad to learn from Your Excellency's
letter of 26th. June (received on 28th. at 3.30 P.M.), which I
have the honour to acknowledge, that Your Excellency has decided

of State with reference to the inclusion of the papers relating

to the Secretary of State in connection with another matter. The

should naturally prefer to leave the wording of it to Your
Excellency's judgment.

I have the honour to point out that although
the correspondence in the Press is alluded to in the post-script
of Your Excellency's letter dated 22nd. February, but despatched
about a fortnight later there is no suggestion that such was

I have further the honour to point out that

connected with the question; nor, although it would appear from
the post-script above referred to, and the letter of the
Secretary of the Chamber of 29th. February (enclosed in the
above letter) that the Committee of the Chanther were invited to
express a further opinion on the matter, was I requested at any
time to supply Your Excellency with any information. Had Your
Excellency
