It is possible that the Straits Settlements and Labuan might be left some day with a considerable quantity of silver not being legal tender elsewhere, the demonetization of which, if then desired, would be a costly operation.

The Order in Council will be prepared for that purpose and be favoured with their Lordship's views on the suggestions.

I am to request that the Japanese Law is to be translated according to them.
