GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG. 20th. February, 1913.

I have the honour to inform you that it has

been pointed out by the Government Analyst that there is no defin-

-ite standard material laid down for the composition of the Copper

coins of the Colony in the Order-in-Council of 2nd. February, 1895,

and to suggest for your consideration that some standard should be

fixed with a view to rendering it easier to detect attempts at

counterfeiting.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,
