grant is "prejudicial or inconvenient to His Majesty's
subjects in general," the Letters Patent shall forth-
with determine and be void to all intents and purposes.
It clearly must be strategically prejudicial
to the Empire as a whole if the Patentee, is permitted
to send out and receive uncontrolled wireless messages
from and to HongKong and places beyond HongKong in view
of the fact that it is an Imperial Fortress and Naval
Station.
If, however, the Patentee is permitted to use
the invention "within the Colony" it will in practice
be impossible to prevent messages being seat to and
received from places "beyond" HongKong.
It follows that the uncontrolled use of the
invention even though its use shall nominally be res-
tricted to places "within" the Colony cannot but cons-
titute a grave Imperial strategic danger, prejudicial
to all His Majesty's subjects in the Colony in common
with all others His subjects throughout His Dominions.
While therefore the Patentee cannot lawfully
be prevented from establishing a station and using his
invention within the Colony so long as his patent
remains unrevoked, I advise that a petition be present-
ed to the Supreme Court for revocation, and if need be for an interia injunction against the use of the inven-
tion notwithstanding the existence of the patent, on
the general public grounds that I have stated.
The petition would be presented by me as
Attorney
