Enclosure 2.

41845

I protest against the Chief Justice's

allegation that I observed secrecy in informing Your Excellency

of the conversation I had with Dr. Ho Kai on the subject of

the refusal to permit Mr. Ho Tung to occupy the Eyrie.

The Chief Justice having adopted the very

extraordinary course of discussing with the Senior Un-official

Member the decision of the Governor-in-Council in this matter

and having in his private letter of the 28th. of August to

you accused me, on the strength of such discussion with Dr. Ho

Kai, of breach of faith with certain leading Chinese in the mat-

-ter of an alleged understanding said to have been come to by

me with Dr. Ho Kai and others in regard to the exemption clause

in the Hill District Reservation Ordinance in 1904, I took the

opportunity of explaining my personal view of the question to

Dr. Ho Kai when he called upon me as described in the Chief

Justice's Memorandum of the 7th. instant.

I did not discuss with Dr. Ho Kai what took

plaos in Executive Council on the subject of the Chief Justice's

application to rent the Eyrie to Mr. Ho Tung nor any other

matters connected with the application.

Immediately after my conversation with

Dr..Ho Kai I recorded the purport of it in my minute of 29th.

August addressed to Your Excellency.

(sd.) F. H. May,

Colonial Secretary.

12th. October, 1908.
