Li Hong Mi v. Attorney General, Hong Kong.
18.
Sir E. Stubbs considers that Mr. Sharp should
beoriefed, if he will be in this country when
the appeal is heard but he does not think he
:
will be).
So raply.
At once:
A.E.C.
3.6.
Referring to your letter of the 22nd instant No.34033/IS.
we have got into communication with Mr. Sharp K.C., 0.B.E., and he has kindly consented to confer with us, if and when the appellant
enters an appearance in this appeal.
2. It occurs to us that perhaps the most useful course would
be to retain Mr. Sharp as Counsel for the respondent, as he was
concerned in the case in the local Court, and it would appear to us
to be only reasonable to pay him a fee, if he assists the Hong Kong
Government in this country.
3. You will recollect that Mr. Upjohn K.C. has been retained
as leader, and he would therefore lead Mr. Sharp. It would also be
necessary, in order to comply with the etiquette of the Bar, that a Junior should be briefed. The employment of Mr. Sharp would there- fora entail an additional fee being paid, and we will defer doing s0
until we receive your instructions.
We are, Sir,
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial office,SW.1.
Your obedient Servants,
Durchells.
