Sir,
14 JAN 1933
99, CANNON STREET,
LONDON, E. C. 4.
13th January, 1933
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of December 27th informing me that the Hongkong Fore-
shore and Sea Bed Amendment Ordinance, 1932, was passed by the
Legislative Council of Hongkong on August 18th last.
I fear there has been some confusion in regard to
the title of the measure about which I wrote to you on
December 6th. The Ordinance I referred to in that letter is //24/52
the draft bill to be cited as the Foreshore and Sea Bed Works
Ordinance, 1932, published on page 762 of the Hongkong Govern-
ment Gazette of August 19th, not the Ordinance to which you
refer in your reply.
For this mistake I may be in part responsible, for I
misquoted the title of the Ordinance in letters addressed to
in 3 in 92503.
32
the Foreign Office on November 23rd and December 6th, copies of
which may have been communicated to you. I should have quoted
the Foreshore and Sea Bed Works Ordinance referred to above.
This proposed Ordinance is, as far as I am aware,
still in draft stage, and my Committee would be glad to be
acquainted with your views upon its representation in regard to
I have the honour to be,
H.M. Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
EM. Gull.
Secretary.
