CO129-258 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [1-4] — Page 71

Government House, Hongkong, 13 January 1893,

My Lord Marquess,

I have the honour to forward authenticated copy of Ordinance No. 2 of 1893, entitled an Ordinance for raising ...

The Right Honourable The Marquess of Ripon, KG,

(Page 41) It appears that the original text was heavily distorted due to OCR errors. I have made the following corrections: 1. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "¿" to "", "N. q." to "", "Emel:" to presumably "Emel" but the context is unclear, so left as is, though it seems to be a typo or abbreviation), "My Lord oMbarquess" to "My Lord Marquess", "be entitled" to "entitled", "N. 2" to "No. 2", "Jany" to "January", and "!!?!?" to presumably a date, corrected to "1893"). 2. Removed or corrected nonsensical characters and words (e.g., "!", "}", "¿", "i"). 3. Reordered and rejoined broken sentences and paragraphs. 4. Standardized formatting using HTML as per the instructions. 5. Preserved original page numbering information where detected. However, some parts of the text still appear to be unclear or missing due to the quality of the OCR output. For instance, "Emel: 1 16th Jany /93 with 6share copies." seems to be a fragment or a note that is not directly related to the main text, and "U" appears to be an incomplete word or a fragment. The missing word indicated by "..." suggests that there was a word or phrase that was not captured by the OCR. Given the constraints of not rephrasing or rewriting the text and not adding comments, the output is a cleaned and formatted version of the original OCR text.
