ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS

HONG KONG

21st January, 1973.

As promised in the Governor's Telegram about

the Judiciary, I am letting you have the detailed information about the state of business in the Courts prepared by the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

As you will, I think, appreciate, this is intended for your information. You will see one or two items which might look odd if published without a detailed explanation. There is in fact a detailed explanation, but we do not think it necessary to burden you with it.

I am sure you will agree that the note discloses

a very satisfactory state of affairs. It should be sufficient for you to say, if necessary, that the state of business in the Hong Kong Courts compares very favourably with that

in the Courts of other countries.
