I have the honour to

acknowledge the receipt of your confidential despatch of the 22nd

of February last on the subject

of the additional provision re- quired for prison purposes at

Hongkong.

In that despatch you

urge me to reconsider the view

which I had previously expressed

that a new prison should be built,

block by block, on a site differ

and you submit a scheme for add-

ing to the accommodation provided

Đông của ng

by the present buildings on the

present restricted site.

2. I share your desire not

to force upon the Colony a scheme

for a new and expensive prison,if,

as I admit is probable, such a

measure would be met by protests

from
