Dear Sirs,

338

Crown Solicitor's Office,

Hongkong, 25th. February, 1911.

K. M. L. 29, 30 and 31.

In reply to your letter of the 21st. instant,

I am instructed to point out that the questions whether a claim is properly made, and whether a claimant is entitled to compensa-

-tion must be decided under the terms of the Ordinance when the

claims have been presented.

The attitude of the Government has been q

quite consistent and it cannot admit or deny any claim before it is made.

Yours etc.,

(sd.) F. B. L. Bowley,

Crown Solicitor.

Messrs. Deacon, Looker and Deacon.
