Civil Government of Hongkong.

With regard to the

ว.

revenci

of 1835, I may

remark

that the portion of that revenue derived from opium must

always be precarious; for several

obvious reasons. But on

this

subjest, I shall shortly transmit

a separate report, in reference,

more

particularly, to Your

Lordship's despatch n°99 of the 2nd May ultimo.

6.

Meanwhile, I hope

that the Estimates for 1885 as

voted

Goz

68469

voted and appropriated by the Colonial Legislature will be approved; for they have been the object of the most careful attention on the part of myself and of the Excentive Council; as also of the Finance Committee and of the entire Legislative Council

I have the honour to be,

My Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

S. Bowen
