Sir,

Government House,

Hongkong, 30th. May, 1904.

With reference to your telegram of the

21st. instant informing me that Mr. Norton Kyshe had been com-

pulsorily retired on account of ill-health. I have the honour

to suggest that Mr. Norton Kyshe's Memorandum in reply to the

Report of the Commission be printed in England and copies

transmitted to the Colony in order that the Report of the Com-

mission and the Reply may be laid on the table of the Legislative

Council. The Report has not been made public as there was no

copy of the Reply in the Colony to publish with it.

2.

Mr. Kyshe's inefficiency was so notorious

that it constituted little less than a scandal which reflected

little credit on the Public Service. I venture to think that

it is in the interests of the Public Service that the Report

and the ultimate action resulting therefrom should be made

ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.,

Sir,

Your most obedient
