With reference to your letter of the 30th

April, I am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain

to state that the measures adopted by the Government

of Hongkong with regard to the institution designated

"mui-taal” are outside his jurisdiction. He has

therefore sent a copy of your letter to the Colonial

Office, to which department any further communication

should be addressed.

I en,

Madas,

Your obedient Servant,

Mrs. C. 2. L. Haslewood,

8 Bennett Street,

Bath.
