COL OFFICE

Dear Sir,

I have to acknowledge with thanks receipt of copies of two letters from the Colonial Office to the Chief Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, and to the Secretary, Custom House, dated 1st March, under your cover of the 3rd date.

Yours faithfully,

Maitenam

SECRETARY.

The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies,

Colonial Office,

for Asiatics.

The fourth point is under consideration, but I do not expect that there will be any difficulty.

The silverware, point 5, is a matter of considerable awkwardness. Hay tells me that the articles turn out to be 900 fine against 925 which is the standard for hall-mark. We may be able to get out of it by selling the things as "metal" and we are writing to the Board of Trade accordingly. We have also written to the Home Office concerning the question of the kingfisher feathers and we have written to the Customs asking them to put as little difficulty as possible in the way of these importations, which they have agreed to. I enclose copies of the letters.

The last point he made with regard to the sale of refreshments in the Chinese Restaurant is, I know, before you; so I do not say anything more on that subject.

Mr. Hallifax is unfortunately laid up but I hope will be about again soon.

Yours sincerely,

E. W. L.loyd
