Government House,

Hongkong, 28th. July, 1910.

With reference to paragraph 6 of

Sir F. D. Lugard's Despatch No. 141 of the 27th. of April,

I have the honour to transmit the enclosed copy of a

further letter from Mr. P. W. Goldring, giving cover to one

from the Law Society and to another from Mr. M. J. D. ~

Stephens, on the subject of the use by the Crown Solicitor

for his private practice of the offices provided for him

as Crown Solicitor by the Government.

not worth removal at the expense of the taxpayers' pocket,

for an alteration in existing arrangements must lead to

additional

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CREWE,
