GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 24th. November, 1915.

Referring to Mr. Harcourt's Circular Despatch

of the 28th. April last, I have the honour to transmit certificates

of naturalization in respect of the following persons:

2.

Mr. Joseph Gould.

Mr. Judah Joseph,

Mr. Solomon Michael and his son David Vivian

Michael.

Mr. Arratoon Vertannes Apcar and his son George

Armen Arratoon Apcar.

The applications have in each case been made

in accordance with the instructions forwarded by Mr. Harcourt. All

four gentlemen are well known local residents, as are the persons

who have testified as to the facts of residence, the statements generally in the memorials, and the good character and loyalty of the applicmts; and I am satisfied that certificates of naturaliza-

-tion may properly be granted.

3.

I may refer in this connection to my Despatch

338/240, 217 of the 9th. June, regarding the fees to be paid under the

British Nationality and Statue of Aliens Act, 1914. I shall be glad

to learn whether the draft bill fixing these fees is approved.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

HE RIGHT HONOURABLE

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Governor,&c.
