Sir,

In reply to your letter (1436/1916)

dated 10th instant, on the subject of the Macao

Electric Lighting Company, I am directed by

Secretary Sir E. Grey to enclose, for the in-

formation of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law, copy of a

telegram from His Majesty's Minister at Lisbon

stating that the Company in question is a British

Company, registered in Hong Kong.

Sir E. Grey has reason to believe

that the Mr. Ricon referred to in the telegram

Mr. S. ... Ricou the French Manager of the

Company's Works in Macao.

Under these circumstances Sir E.

Grey sees no objection to permission being granted

to import this Machinery into Hong Kong and he is

prepared, should Mr. Secretary Bonar Law so desire,

to instruct His Majesty's Minister at Lisbon to

render any assistance he can to facilitate

transhipment.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Walter Sownley

for the CONTROLLER.

The Under Secretary of State,
