Chung Chỉ Cheung V. The King.

We beg to refer to the letter from your Department

dated the 12th May last and to paragraph 2 of the copy despatch

\"% of

19

of the Governor dated the 26th April 1938 enclosed with that

letter.

We would also refer to the second paragraph of our

letter of the 13th May last.

2.

As the Record has now been printed, we have enquired

of Mr. Kenelm Preedy whether there are any particular points

which he desires to be dealt with, especially in the instructions

which we are to receive from Hong Kong, and Mr. Preedy states that

there are none, but he wishes us to inform you that, when our

instructions have been received from the Colony and have been

considered by him and by the Attorney-General who is taking the

Leading Brief for the Respondent, if there arises any point upon

which special instructions are desired, we will request you to

cable to the Colony therefor.

3.

In the meantime, we have sent Instructions to Mr.

Preedy to prepare a draft Case for the Respondent and, as it is

hoped that this appeal will be heard immediately after the Long

The Under Secretary of State.
