COL. OFFICE

My Lord,

With reference to Mr. Amery's despatch of

the 10th of April, No.72, relative to the question

whether action can be taken to prevent the sale of

water from the Tai Koo Sugar Refining Company,

Limited, from their reservoir in the Colony, I

have the honour to ask if Mr. Burchell is prepared

to give the reasons for his view as stated in his

letter of the 25th of March to Mr. H.G. Bushe. It

would of course be understood that he would do so by

way of professional advice. Alternatively, I

would suggest that Mr. Burchell should place his

arguments before counsel and obtain a further opinion

from them.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

名

Ermen to

Governor, &c.
