Hongkong.

MAY

At a Public Meeting presided over by His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, Governor of Hongkong, held on the 27th September last at the City Hall, it was unanimously resolved that the services reudere: to the Community during the recent visitation of Plague by those who assisted in its repression were worthy of public recognition, and a large and influential Committee representing all sections of our Community was appointed to give effect to that resolution.

On behalf therefore of that Committee, and in the name of the Communi- ty, we beg to tender to you the Community's deep and heartfelt thanks for the services which you rendered to the Colony in her hour of trial by your efforts

to save the victims of the disease who were under your charge, and, where that was impossible, to mitigate and assuage their sufferings to the last.

We have the honour to be,

Madam,

Your most obedient Servants,

Enw. J. ACKROYD, Chairman.
