Enclosure 1 in Canton despatch to Peking No.117 of 13th August, 1935.
H. B. M. Consul, Canton, presents his compliments
to the Inspector-General of Police, Hong Kong, and has
the honour to inform him that a British Indian called
Beneres Khan has applied for permission to work in Hong
Kong.
Benares Khan was employed as a night watchman
by the R. A. S. C. in Hong Kong from October 1st 1933
till January 16th 1935, and has a testimonial from the
Officer in Charge of transport in Hong Kong.
He has also deposited $100 in this office as
guarantee in case he gets stranded and has produced a
letter from Firdos Khan of No. 35, Queen's Road, East,
Hong Kong, guaranteeing him employment in the Colony.
Benares Khan has not the necessary documentary
evidence for a full passport to be granted him but
H.M. Consul would be glad to know if there is any
objection to granting him an emergency certificate valid
for Hong Kong to enable him to go and earn his living
there.
British Consulate-General,
Canton.
18th June, 1935.
