Admiralty, 43

August Tales 150 5

With reference to your letter of the 18th July Adres 1906, No. 24581/1905, relative to the acquisition by the

Admiralty of certain land at Hong Kong near Mount Parish,

Wanchal; I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the

Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the

Secretary of State for the Colonies, that in view of the

objection to the addition to Clause 5 of the Memorandum of

Transfer of the words proposed by My Lords, they are

prepared to agree to these words being omitted.

2.

The compromise with regard to this Clause

suggested by H. E. the Governor is therefore accepted by

Their Lordships.

3. I am to add that the course proposed in

paragraph 3 of your letter has been noted, and the

to the Admiralty local Officers necessary instructions will be given in order that an

amended Memorandum in substitution of that dated 19th

December 1904, may be obtained.

I am,

sir,

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

Your obedient Servant
