Hong Kong, 12th April 1864.

My Lord Duke,

I beg to submit for Your Grace's consideration copy of a correspondence which has taken place with Mr. Cleverly, the Surveyor General, upon the subject of the changes in, and additions to his Department which he considers imperatively called for both by his approaching departure on leave, and by the large amount of public works now in progress.

To the Duke of Newcastle, K.G.

No 35. Military Contribution.

In reference further to No. 22 of 16th February, and acknowledging duplicate despatch of 25th April, I beg to state that I might have abandoned my argument without any difficulty, as the final decision had already been taken.

See E.H.D. this duplicate 5739.

It is hardly a fair statement to commend the settlement of Pont f he bas Jacon Hill.
