SIR,

Appendix 40.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 5th December, 1892.

I am directed to enquire when the Governor may expect to receive the report of the Committee appointed by His Excellency to investigate certain points connected with the Bill for the incorporation of the Pó Leung Kuk.

I am to remind the Committee that it was appointed as far back as the 28th of April, and to observe that, in justice to the Society against which such serious allegations have been made, the completion of the enquiry should not be unnecessarily delayed.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,

Chairman, Pó Léung Kuk Committee.
