;
HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
27
I need hardly say that everything possible was done to save his life and that he made a great fight himself, but unfortunately he has finally succumbed. I have just had notice of the fact.
Mr. Lloyd was only 51 years of age and had only recently com- pleted 27 honourable years service in this Colony. I myself have been associated with him for slightly under five years and during that period I formed a great opinion of his ability and devotion to duty. He held a post which was full of great difficulties and called for those special qualities which Mr. Lloyd possessed in a high degree, and his death will leave a vacancy which it will be very difficult to fill.
I move that this Council express its deep sense of the loss sustained to the Colony by the passing of Mr. Lloyd and record appreciation of the great service rendered by him during his long term of service, and that further we tender to the widow and relatives of the deceased our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
HON. SIR HENRY POLLOCK seconded, the Members stood in silence.
