GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 30th. July, 1912.

With reference to paragraph 7 of Mr. Severn's

22877 Confidential Despatch of 27th. June, 1912, I have the honour to

report as follows regarding the result of the scrutiny carried out upon the New Revised Edition of the Laws of Hongkong prepared by Sir F. T. Piggott.

2.

A careful examination of two-thirds of the

Edition has revealed the existence of several thousand mistakes

and the fact that errors of one kind or another occur on almost

every page. It will therefore be necessary to reprint the whole

Edition.
