My Lord,

Hongkong, 15th. December, 1908.

I have the honour to transmit the

enclosed copy of correspondence between Messrs. Hastings

and Hastings and the Colonial Secretary, and, as I am ad-

vised that the argument of Messrs. Hastings and Hastings is

sound, I shall be glad if Your Lordship will be good enough

to inform me what steps should be taken by this Government

with a view to entering into an agreement with His Majesty's

Government of the kind contemplated by section 27 of the

Patent and Designs Act, 1907.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Mangarez

Governor,&c.

THE EARL OF CREWE,
