Gentlemen,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong 18th March, 1911.

In reply to your letter of the 8th instant I am

directed to inform you that the Government is not willing to

adopt the amendments to Section 12 of the Harbour of Refuge Ordinance, 1909, proposed in the 12th paragraph of your letter.

The words "having a frontage on Reclamation Street"

were inserted advisedly in the Ordinance, following the precedent of the Praya Reclamation Ordinance, 1889 and the

ruling of the Full Court thereon, the Government being of opinion that the right (if any) of a Marine Lot holder to

access to the sea accrues in respect of Marine frontage only.

With regard to the alteration in the level of Reclama-

tion Street, your clients are in the same position as all other Crown leasees in the Colony holding lots abutting on

streets the levels of which have been altered and the

Government sees no reason to discriminate in favour of your

clients.

It is requested that each of your clients who is a

frontager on Reclamation Street should deliver detailed

particulars of his claim under the Ordinance as indicated in

the Crown Solicitor's letter to you of the 7th ultimo with

as little delay as possible.

I am, Gentlemen,

Your obedient servant,

Sd.

C. Clementi,

Colonial Secretary.

Messrs.Deacon, Looker and Deacon.
