358-

of the 10th of October, 1890,

Looking therefore to

the altered conditions and

to the fact that $200,000

would be an insufficient balance to keep in view the expenditure that has to be met from time to time on account of the Praya reclamation, and of the occasional drafts by Crown Agents on account of supplies of subsidiary coin as well as for other purposes,

This is as avt in 4 1

I have to request that Your Lordship will be good enough to reconsider the instructions contained in that despatch, and to allow a larger amount to remain in the hands of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank.

I should mention that no deposit on current account for the Praya Reclamation Fund has been made with the Charter
