Sir,

In further reference to Mr. Ellis' letter dated
30th September last (No. 72724/2/30) relating to the
action brought by the China Navigation Co. Ltd., against
the Attorney General, the Plaintiffs have now filed
their Affidavit of Documents, and this constitutes the
list of documents upon which they intend to rely at the
trial.
The Affidavit contains a great number of
documents, many of which I have obtained from China and
the Departments concerned. There is, however, doubt as to
whether the Plaintiffs will refer to all the documents
they have included, and I am at present in correspondence
with their Solicitors upon this point. The following
documents, however, will certainly be required and I
should be glad if you would let me know whether these
are obtainable without bespeaking copies from the
Plaintiffs' Solicitors:
