Sir,

With reference to your letter (No.53857/37) of the

19th November, enclosing a copy of a despatch from the

Officer Administering the Government, of Hong Kong regarding

securities accepted for deposit under the provisions of

the Assurance Companies Act, 1909, I am directed by the

Board of Trade to say for the information of the Secretary

of State that the securities are prescribed by the Rules

of the Supreme Court (Order 22, Rule 17). The list of such

securities in use in the Board has been brought up to date by

reference to the Annual Practice, 1938, which contains the

Rules of the Supreme Court, and a copy of the revised list is

enclosed.

I am to add that under the Rules "Mortgages of freehold

and copyhold estates respectively in England and Wales" are

also acceptable, but it is understood that it is not now the

practice for the Supreme Court to accept them.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

S.W.1.
