We ought not to allow this without asking. Whether the doctor concurs. Three days is the limit.

Continuous Bread and Water diet.

In England.

Rules 210-17 are as far as I can make out new & unexplained additions. They ought not to pass unchallenged, for under them prisoners will be chained inside on the tread wheel.

Everywhere I would not countenance them absolutely without explanation, but, in taking exception it might be added that the necessity for all such measures has arisen from the refusal of the Athenian court & community to build a decent prison, a refusal which has been over and over again commented on (which is to say the least most discreditable), and say with reference to M. Fleming's despatch No.10429 of 28 April that Lord Knutsford will be glad to receive his suggestions as soon as possible.

Government House, No.174.

Hongkong, 4th June, 1890.

My Lord,

With reference to Your Lordship's despatch No.21 of the 31st of January, I have the honour to inform you that in reply to a question addressed.

To the Right Honourable Lord Knutsford, J.C.M.G.,
