£. I attach a plan of the propos-

ed dock yard extension with the course of the Nullah which

in time or flood carries down a considerable quantity of

material from the hill side.

On the 5th.July a represent-

ation "as made by the owners of property from Murrey Pier

to the LongKong Club, running west from Murray pier, pro-

testing against the alleged intention to divert the Nul-

leh from its present position to a point close to Murray

pier, as the silt would render the pray in front of their

premises unr pproachable for vessels. After taking the

opinion of the Director of Public Works, the At orney Orn-

eral and the Lend officer, the letter of the 9th. August

Tas drafted by the Attorney General and sent, to which

the reply of the 16th.August was received.

As the outcome of the cor-

respondence was the intimation in the letter of the 3rd. September that the matter would be referred to the Admir- elty I think it desirable that you should be placed in

possession of the facts of the case.

The Right Honourable,

JOSEPH CLAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
