With reference to your letter 29772/1901, of

the 3rd September 1901, I am directed by the Secretary of

State for War to acquaint you, for the information of the

Secretary of State for the Colonies, that, before proceed-

ing further with the question of the liability of the

Colony to provide free of cost to this Department the

Crown land, if any, comprised within the area at Devil's

Peak, Hong Kong, shown on the plan enclosed in the War

Office letter 266/Hong Kong/28 of the 22nd July 1899, it

would appear desirable to ascertain the extent and the

value of the Crown land in question.

Mr.Secretary Brodrick would therefore be glad if

he could be informed of the extent and the value of this

land.
