Government House,

Hongkong, 8th. October, 1910.

With reference to Mr. Chamberlain's

You 14021:00 Despatch No. 149 of the 24th. May, 1900, I have the honour

50:95/6

to forward the enclosed copy of a letter from Messrs.

Deacon, Looker and Deacon dated the 29th. ultimo, and to

inform Your Lordship that no Order-in-Council has been

made in Hongkong with respect to the State of Victoria

(Australia) and that I am not aware whether that State

has made adequate provision for the recognition of pro-

-bates and administrations granted by the Hongkong Courts.

The State had apparently not done so in 1900.

I take this opportunity of

enquiring whether any Colonies other than those mentioned

in Mr. Chamberlain's Despatch, above referred to, and in

his Despatch No. 38 of the 21st. February, 1896, have now

made provision for recognizing such probates and
