But it cannot for a moment be supposed that British Colonial Governments will be sanctioned in thus repudiating their acts and documents, to the injury of a party who has trusted in them when the matter is fully made Known.

As the buildings have remained in an unfinished state for two years I have a claim for deterioration, and for the Rents which might have been obtained for them, which I beg His Lordship will instruct the Hong Kong Government to examine and pay to me.

Mr Johnston who was at the time Acting Governor is at present in this Country, and is well acquainted with the circumstances of this case.

The Documents referred to are in my possession, and will be produced other information on the subject given, if His Lordship will honour me with an interview.
