The Clause in the Agreements of Hong Kong Police relative to the hours of work mentioned Constables has "6 hours and not "8 hours" for the last twenty years and I should be glad to know whether you wish that the alteration to 8 hours should be made in all cases or only in those of Water Police.

Norby to proposal to grant 999 years lease of Lot to Messrs Mewar & Butterfield.

Messrs Mewar & Butterfield were asking either that their lot may be treated as an entirety or that they may be granted a 999 years lease.

Mr Lucas: It would have been more convenient if Messrs B. & S. had raised the question when the grant of a 999 years lease of Marine Lot 3 was proposed.

The O.A.G.'s despatch contains a mistake. It is not the fact that the Dock itself will be partly on Lot 3 and partly on Lot 6: this can be seen both from the letter enclosed in this despatch and from the tracing in 35233/1901.

The real fact is that some of their Shipping works will be on one Lot and some on the other. The case is therefore not quite so strong as it is represented to be in the despatch.

There appear, however, to be sufficient grounds for granting the request. The tracing in 38722/1900 shows that the two lots must naturally go together as the curious shape of Lot 6 and the fact that the road cuts it off from the ground

Mr Lucas

It would have been more convenient if Messrs B. & S.

had raised the question when the grant of a 999 years

lease of Marine Lot 3 was proposed.

The O.A.G.'s despatch contains a mistake. It is not the

fact that the Dock itself will be partly on Lot 3 and partly

on Lot 6: this can be sten both from the letter enclosed in

this despatch and from the tracing in 35233/1901. The real

fact is that some of their Shipping works will be on one Lot

and some on the other. The case is therefore not quite so

strong as it is represented to be in the despatch. There

appear, however, to be sufficient grounds for granting the

request. The tracing in 38722/1900 shows that the two lots

must naturally go together as the curious shape of Lot 6

and the fact that the road cuts it off from the ground
