inadmissible," and the Commander-in-Chief on the China Station

was instructed to decline them.

The matter then remained in abeyance until on the

14th February 1999, Mr.Gillies, Chief Manager of the Cock Com-

pany, informed the Director of Public Works that "to meet the

growing demand for docking accommodation at this port" his Directors recommended the construction of a new dock at Hunghom to the East of their No.1 Dock, and inquired on what terts the Government would be prepared to allot to his Company the ground

required as a further extension of their lease of Kowloon Varine

Lot No.27.

In forwarding Wr.Gillies' letter two days later the Cirector of Public Works pointed out that the area asked for

amounted to 892,340 square feet, including the whole of Kowloon

Cock Battery, a small portion of Military reserve adjoining,

some Crown foreshore and a considerable area now under water alsc

the property of the Crown. Mr.Cresby further stated that he had

reason to hope that the Military Authorities would consent to

give up the the Battery as being no longer of importance and that

no objection would be raised to relinquishing the small area of

military reserve aljoining.

On the 23rd February 1899 the question was referred to

the General Officer Commanding, who replied on the 10th March

1899 that he would be prepared to recommend to the War Office

that authority be given for the surrender of the land in question

on the understanding that an amount representing the value of the

land as ascertained from the terms and conditions of its transfer

to the Dock Company (being the sum actually received for it by

the Colony from the Dock Company, or the capitalized value if an

annual rental be paid) would be entered in the land account
