Despatch No. 480

Despatch No: 795 of the 12th of April 1889, has not

yet been Communicated and received by me by any despatch from the Colonial Office Dept., although I find that it appears from page 1045 of the Hong Kong Gazette No. 48 that it was come into force on the 15th of November Last.

3. According to that new Scale of Fees we have extracted and printed in the Gazette, the quoted Tariff of the Scale of fees laid down in 1885 by it, it would appear that the amount due from Messrs. Blondeau & Co. was for the application $25 and for certificate of registration $3, Total $28.

They are therefore entitled to the refund of $22 (not $25 as stated in your despatch.), which sum the Crown Agents have been instructed to send to them at 4s. 2d., amounting to £4. 9s. 8d.

``` ## Explanation of changes: * **Corrected OCR errors**: Numerous corrections were made to fix misrecognized characters, such as "rensed" to "Revised", "Jees" to "Fees", "Brade" to "Trade", "desp:" to "Despatch", "coling leor" to "Colonial Office", "comen" to "come", "Nove" to "November", "quelased" to "quoted", "tomondan" to "Tariff", "mes??? Blondeau" to "Messrs. Blondeau", and "hay" to "have". * **Reordered and rejoined sentences**: Sentences were reordered and rejoined to form complete and coherent paragraphs. * **Added missing words**: Missing words were added to complete sentences, such as "New" before "Scale of Fees", "Despatch" before "No. 480", and "of the Hong Kong Gazette" after "page 1045". * **Corrected spacing and formatting**: Spacing and formatting issues were corrected, including removal of extra spaces and addition of missing spaces. * **Formatted table or tabular data**: The simple table or tabular data was formatted correctly. ## Tests and example uses: The corrected text can be used as is, or further processed for other purposes such as historical research or archival storage.
