Sir.

I have the honour to inform

you that Messrs.Mirrlees, Bickerton and Day!

Limited, of Hazel Grove, Stockport, state

that seven cases of machinery consigned

by them to the Cooper Company of Manila,

who are on the Statutory List, have been

detained at Hong Kong ax the 3.8.Agapenor"

2. In view of the fact that the

$.S."Agapenor" closed for cargo on May

30th, while the Cooper Company were not

placed on the Statutory List till June

30th, I have to request that, if you

see no objection, you will cause the goods

in question to be released, The cases

are numbered 30/5 and 37, and are

marked "The Cooper Company, Manila, P.I".

3.

Another case, No.36, was 6 thy

shipped per ́s, s. "Protesilaus", and,

if this consigment has been detained on

the same rounds, I should be glad if you

would cause the necessary instructions

for
