FOREIGN OFFICE
September 8 1911.
Sir:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your letter of the 3rd ultimo,
4. (No.11965/11) regarding the Court of Appeal at Hong
Kong, and to state, for Mr. Secretary Harcourt's
information, that Sir E. Grey agrees to the introduction
of the arrangements previously proposed on the retirement
of the present Chief Justice.
Sir E. Grey assumes that the conditions laid down
in his letter of the 19th August, 1908 will be complied
with.
A point has, however, been raised by the Judge
of His Majesty's Court at Shanghai, which I am to
communicate to you, to be laid before Mr. Harcourt.
Sir H. de Sausmarez thinks that, if the Sessions
of the Court take place every six months, and one
session is held immediately after Christmas in each
year, there should be no difficulty in arranging the
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
