With reference to my talogram of the 22nd.
January, I have the honour to inform Your Lordship of the proceedings which have been taken in Hongkong in connection with the resignation by Sir Henry May of the office of
Governor.

A joint session of the Executive and
Legislative Councils was held on the 25th. Jmuary for the purpose of passing a resolution. I enclose a copy of the Hansard report of the meeting. I attach also a copy of a
letter in which I informed Sir Henry May of the proceedings,
and a copy of his lotter in reply. This correspondence was
published in the Gazette.
3.
The Community has decided that Sir Honry
Kay's eminent services to the Colony will be most suitably
commemorated by the erection of his statue, and the un-
-official members of the Councils have made arrangements for
the collection of subscriptions in small sums, in order that
as many persons as possible may have the opportunity of par- -ticipating. consider this proposal a good one and I hope
it will be carried into effect. The ladies or the Colony are
arranging for the presentation of a book of photographs to
Lady kay.

telegram of the zna. June in which you report tha His
