HONGKONG. 20th. February, 1913.
I have the honour to inform you that it has
been pointed out by the Government Analyst that there is no defin-
-ite standard material laid down for the composition of the Copper
coins of the Colony in the Order-in-Council of 2nd. February, 1895,
and to suggest for your consideration that some standard should be
fixed with a view to rendering it easier to detect attempts at
counterfeiting.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,
