GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 31st. October, 1916.
Sir,
45
90/2014
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your Confidential Despatch of the 19th. June in which you
enclosed drafts of revised Letters Patent and Instructions for this
Colony, and asked for any observations I might have to offer in
regard to them.
2.
I have no observations to make on the draft
Letters Patent except to remark that I consider the new provisions
for the suspension of members of the Executive and Legislative
Councila very desirable.
3.
I concur in the insertion of the new Clauses
XVII and XVIII in the Instructions.
4.
With regard to Clause XXXII I presume that the arrangement approved in Mr. Harcourt's Desp-tch No. 60 of the 8th. March, 1912, will remain in force.
EB.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Алад
Governor,&c..
