C.O. 16557 RECO 515 Rea 27 JUN 79 Taipo 6th May 1899.

Your Excellency.

With regard to the erection of a Police Station at Fa Ti Au, near the frontier which is to be proceeded with at once I am of opinion that at least about 100 men should be stationed in that neighbourhood to begin with. If the Military Authorities could spare 75 men and the Police had 25 men stationed here I feel sure their presence would have an excellent effect and give great confidence to the villagers, who are afraid of rowdies coming into the boundary from China. With 100 troops and Police at Fa Ti Au I think such rowdies will be well kept in check. I may mention that Colonel W. O'Gorman concurs generally in my opinion and is addressing H.E. the O.C.C. on the subject.

(Signed.) J. H. Stewart Lockhart, Colonial Secretary.
