Sir,
No. 5.

Government House
Hongkong, 20th. May, 1912.
With reference to your letter of the 26th.
February, I have the honour to inform your Excellency that my
attention has been drawn to an error in the memorandum by Mr. E. S.
Lindsey, dated the 2nd. of last December, which formed an enclo-
-sure in Sir F. D. Lugard's letter of the 27th. of last December
on the subject of the claim to be made by this Government under
clause 7(f) of the Working Agreement on account of the suspension
of through running of trains on the Canton-Kowloon Railway.
Mr. Lindsey wrote:- "The compensation if the
Working Agreement applied to the case would be $5,731.48 per mensem and an average daily rate of $185.00". The total is, how- -evor, divisible by 334 days and not by 31 days. The original
claim of this Government must therefore be reduced by $14 per
diem, or by 511 in all, making a total claim of 86,971.50 instead
of 87,482.50, and I shall be glad if Your Excellency will be good
enough to press for the payment of that sum.

I take this opportunity of enclosing for Your
Excellency's information copy of a joint memorandum signed by Mr.
W. G. Moore and Ar. E. Hall as well as of a minute, dated the 15th.
May, by Mr. H. P. Winslow.
I have etc..
(Sd.) Claud Severn,
. Officer Administering the Government.
His Britannic Majesty's Minister,
Peking.
