It is requested that in any further communication on this subject the under-mentioned letter and number may be quoted, and the reply addressed to

The Under Secretary of State for India,
India Office,
Whitehall, S.W.

21249
India Office,
31st October 1890.

I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 22nd instant, enquiring, with reference to a communication received from Commander Dawson, R.N., as to the effect and working of an Order issued in Bombay in 1882 with the view of restricting Sunday labour in the harbour.

In reply I am to state that from the number of cases of Sunday work reported to have been allowed in each year it would appear that the Order has produced a distinct effect, though not so great as at first seemed likely.

Should Commander Dawson be disposed to examine the figures in detail, I am to suggest that he should be invited to call at the Revenue and Statistics Department of this Office.

The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
