Extension of Stone supply.
Reft to your tel of ... No steps being taken to remove difficulties experienced; contractors informed that as contract for farm extends to 31 Dec. they can do nothing until existing arrangements terminate.
(Minutes.)
The Admiralty are very greatly exercised about the difficulties which they suppose the Hongkong Govt. are putting in the way of their contractors procuring stone for the new Dockyards in that Colony, with the effect of preventing them from continuing the work.
An important person [I think, the Chan Constructor of Dockyards] came to me this morning and asked me to do all I could to move Sir H. Blake to remove the difficulty, and at once. I explained to him our position to him [which he will, I am sure, find stated fully in my letter to Lord Monk Bretton on 35583] and I read to him our last telegram to the Gov. by Bagot [dated 20 ult, on 384067], adding that we had not yet received an answer but would.
He admitted that that was all we could do and hoped duality would afford no ground for complaint.
