23rd November, 1931.

The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies,

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

LONDON, S.W. 1.

sir,

I am requested by the Court of the

Company to inform you that they have had brought

to their notice a report of an incident which arose

in Hong Kong during July last.

The case is referred to in the

official record as ""Yacht Tevy II" versus S.S."Sui

Tai" (Macao Ferry) Hongkong 29th July, 1931."

After careful consideration of the

information at their disposal the Court are unable

to find any grave breach of the regulations such as

would warrant the imposition of a "fine of #25 or in

default two weeks with hard labour" which was,

we

understand, the sentence passed by the Marine Magistrate,

Commander G. F. Hole, R.N., (Ret), upon Commander T.

Pritchard, R.N.R., (Ret.)
