My Lord,

1672. Hong Kong,

26th December, 1848-

Adverting to my Despatch No.104 of the 16th Instant, I have now the honour to forward a Schedule showing the list of the Establishments of this Colony as they stand this day- and as they will stand on the 1st of January next, by which I hope to effect an annual Saving of £3,377 or thereabouts, in our expenses. Your Lordship will observe that these retrenchments are principally made in the Police Department, and it may be found that the numerical force has been too much reduced. I do not anticipate that this will prove to be the case, but should it be so - I shall not hesitate to augment.

The Right Honorable,

The Earl Grey,
