M: Bramston I annex old despatches showing that M. Belilios has been a constant benefactor. See especially 5908.86.

Mr. Belilios is a Jew born in India. He has sat on the Legislative Council for apparently never held a seat for more than a year!

More public and private enquiries might show reason for not favouring him for honours; but on the face of it, he has been a good citizen of Hong Kong & done what deserves notice. Sir W. des Voeux, or Sir W. Marsh, Mr. Fleming might be consulted. C.P.L. might be consulted.

Yes - ask the latter.

I shall distrust some when I would find out more about it.

68 July 1891

Dear Lucas,

With reference to our conversation, the following leaked out. I think some Free Balliol's men might have done mischief. We are the older men of the two.

Before this came back to me, Mr Homing called and I asked his views. Letter accords.

Wait for Sir W. des Vaux.
