Dear Beckett,

Military Branch,
Admiralty,s.W.1.
19th December, 1928.
In confirmation of my telephone enquiry
today, 1 should be glad if you could let us have
information on the following point.
On 14th October 1927 the Hong Kong
Government produced a new ordinance as regards
piracy. The effect of this new ordinance will be
that most of the old regulations will have been
cancelled. Some of them however will still
remain under the new ordinance.
The only hint which we have as to which
regulations are being retained is contained in the
Governor's letter of 26th November, Colonial Office
Paper 30016/27.
Could you please have a search made and
by the Governor let us know what regulations have been issued up to
the present date in consequence of the Hong Kong Ordinance No.15 of 14th October 1927.
H.Beckett Esq
Colonial office.
Yours sincerely,
By Marrain
