desire to inform you for the information of His Excellency the Governor that the inconvenience severely complained of is by no means overestimated and they are strong enough to have their grievance redressed.
under pretence that the coins are deficient in weight, or deficient in touch, and unfortunately they are strong enough to have their complaints heard.
We are pleased to find that a supply of subsidiary coinage is already on its way to this Colony.
The want of a sufficient supply of one dollar notes is severely felt by all the employers of labour in the Colony, and also by the Naval, Military and Police paymasters. The Chinese money changers and shopkeepers always exact a squeeze for Silver Dollars.
The remedy for this very great grievance which affects a large number of employés as well as soldiers and sailors in this Colony, would be to allow the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to issue to the extent of five hundred thousand one dollar notes instead of limiting their issue to two hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars as at present.
