Referring to arrangement for despatch of coolies from Hong Kong. Grant "all proper facilities.

2.

In reference to this only

I beg to lay before Your Lordship copies of the correspondence which has already passed, by which Your Lordship will observe that I had long since given instructions that everything should be done in Hong Kong to facilitate the despatch of Coolies to work the Labuan Mines in Labuan.

3.

There is also, however, another method of assisting the Government of Labuan in developing the natural resources of that Colony, and to this I have referred in many instances, particularly in my despatch No. 119 of 15th instant, which I have enclosed. I request Your Lordship to sanction the transportation of Hong Kong Convicts to Labuan.

The accompanying papers

Judging from past experience, there can be no doubt that the interests of both Colonies would be sub-served by such an arrangement.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,

The Governor
