DESPATCH,

Hong Kong, Polockade, for the use of the Parish Commissioners appointed to serve on the Hong Kong Commission -

I have received private information that great exertions are being made by Provincial Officers to induce the Chinese Imperial Government to withdraw their consent to the Commission which is likely to interfere very much with the profits that they have hitherto derived from their Offices.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Most Obedient Humble Servant, H. H. Marsh, Governor.

No. 15-3, Date: 8 May 1836

Previous Paper: No. 11237, (Subject.) Disposal of Crown Land.

C. O. 11231, REG 26 JUN 86

Reports re: report of a committee on the subject of Mr. Hedley's Ach...

(Minutes.)

A draft that the abandonment of the Commission will be considered by Lord Granville.

It is to be considered whether any other subjects which have been raised or passed in separate correspondence should be brought before us, for instance, over- leasing, Sir John Bowring's recommendations, Chinese leases; Kowloon leases; Military allotments.
