the Honourable J. M. Price, Surveyor General of Hong Kong,1 by the principal residents of this Colony, assuring him of their sympathy and the continued confidence of the Community.
2. I also informed Your Lordship that Mr Price had addressed a letter to the Colonial Secretary, in which he thought himself absolved by the Chief Justice from all imputation, on behalf of his Department, "the 3 Copies" and deprecated the appointment of a "Commission of Inquiry".
Accordingly, with the advice of the Executive Council, I appointed a Commission, consisting of the Attorney General, The Treasurer, and Mr Bulkeley Johnson, (an unofficial Member of the Legislative Council.)
I now transmit, for Your Lordship's information, copies of the Report of this Commission; which entirely exculpates Mr Price and his Department.
1 "Houstons" in original text, corrected to "Hong Kong". "thoughs" corrected to "thought". "propocet" not corrected as it is unclear, possible OCR error for "protested". "ce" likely an OCR error for "of" or "Council". "Crunel" likely an OCR error for "Council". "англа." appears to be a non-meaningful OCR result, ignored. "We libre" likely an OCR error for "this". "exculpat" corrected to "exculpates". "his Bulkeley Johnson" likely should be "Mr Bulkeley Johnson". "Hong Kong" correction made assuming "Houstons" was an OCR error. Other corrections made for obvious errors.497
