J. A. 100 of 1824-8.

In closure No. 2 in Sesp:

Lord bey.

Blushwood.

267

Food pay has dreaded that the accompanying letter to the carry may now proceed, omitting the 8th paragraph.

1668

1008 Hong Kong

7.28 4-1/4

Subsequently to the time when Lord bey made his inquiry on the last Draft the Governor's Report arrived at a late hour yesterday afternoon.

By a hasty glance I observe that he recommends in preference that a certain Corps of Rifles should be retained at Hong Kong, but if not, that an addition should be made to the Police which will cost apparently £3,137, exclusive of any charge for introducing the Policemen from India and sending back on furlough.

I have sent this Despatch to Mr Smith from whom it will doubtless reach Lord Grey.

Return of the Expenditure between the 1st December, 1848 and 31st March, 1849, and Estimate of sums for Public Works from 1st April to 30th November, 1848.
