With reference to Admiralty letter of the 11th December, 1902, N.L.12,071, inquiring whether part of the Civil Prison at Hong-Kong could be placed at the disposal of the Naval Authorities to be used as a Naval Prison, and to your reply of the 13th March last to the effect that the crowded state of the Gaol at Hong-Kong rendered this impracticable, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit herewith for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, copy of a communication received from the Commander-in-Chief, China, bearing date the 21st March, in which he submits that it may be possible to arrange with the Colonial Government for an enlargement of the Civil Gaol to accommodate about 60 Naval prisoners.

My Lords will be glad if Mr Secretary Chamberlain will be so good as to favour them with his views on the suggestion put forward in the Commander-in-Chief's letter.
