Hongkong, 23rd December, 1904.

Sir,

No. 37485

In accordance with No. 222 of the Rules and Regulations of His Majesty's Colonial Service, I have the honour to transmit a letter from Messrs. Owens and Harston, Solicitors, appealing against the decision on the Memorial on behalf of Messrs. E. S. Kelly and Ellis Kelly, which was embodied in your Confidential Despatch of the 9th November last.

2. The letter brings forward no facts of which you have not already been informed, and I have nothing to add to the report on the case which I submitted in my Despatch of the 3rd October.

3. I would suggest that your reply may be in the form of an open despatch, which I should be permitted to communicate a copy to the Solicitors, and that it should be of a nature to discourage the re-submission, without the presentation of new facts, of a case to you on which you have already given a decision.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient Humble servant,

[Signature]

Governor, &c.
