THE MILITARY LANDS QUESTION IN HONGKONG.
There is an important local matter which I feel you will expect me to refer to, and that is the question of the 'Military lands. Early in my speech 1- mentioned that land values had risen to jundreamt of heights owing to the steady influx of Chinese from the neighbouring kurteisees and to one other reason, which will now proceed to explain. The area in this island available for Commercial purposes is, as you well know, strictly limited-it has been added to from time Ito time by laborious and expensive re! clamations from the harbour and a new now in and extensive reclamation is progress. As this is the case it must be self evident that the best use should ba made of the space available for business purposes. And yet the Military establish- ments continue to occupy a large tract of the best commercial land in the Colony, dividing the Western from the Eastern districts, hampering free communications. and the natural development of the busi- ness area. It is well known that our Government has been for yeara past making efforts to remove this anomaly. There are plenty of better sites, belong- ing to the Colonial Government, avail- able where the troops could enjoy more healthy and spacious surroundings, but no settlement has yet been arrived at. I believe this is not due to lack of effort on the part of the Hongkong Government- or to obstruction by the local Military Authorities, who must be well aware that the present cramped situation of the garrison is detrimental to the health and efficiency of the troops. There is no! question of military strategy involved, yet the obstruction to the change comes from the War Office alone. I think it is time that the War Office realised that Hongkong does not exist solely in order to pay a military contribution of 20 per cent. of its revenue, and that if this senseless policy of obstruction and ham- pering of British trade and the natural development of the Colony is persisted in, it will become a question of whether the contribution can be justified any longer. (Hear, hear).

TRANSFER OF MILITARY ESTABLISHMENTS.
The CHAIEMAN then submitted Resolu- tion b, as follows:--
That this Public Meeting desires to urge upon the Right Hon. the Secretary of the State for the Colonies the absolute necessity, in the interests of the com- mercial and residential expansion of this Colony, of the present Military Establishments being transferred from their present sites to other sites.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that it was not necessary to say much to commend the resolution. Everyone could see that the military establishments occupied important central positious both in the city of Victoria and in Kowloon Peninsula. Murray Barracks, and the parts of Queen's Road adjacent there to might have been very suitable sites from a military point of view in the early days of the Colony, but he thought it would be admitted that it was not in the least necessary in these days for barracks to take up such A central position. Indeed it was almost an, anachronian for them to keep the most valuable sites in this Colony, almost as much an anachronism as the loop-holes in Murray Barracks for a musket to be fired through. The removal of the - military would be of the greatest possible benefit, not only from the residential point of view, but from the point of view of people who wished to build offices. He included in the area from which the military would be moved the piece of ground known as the Murray Parade ground. That piece of ground and the adjoining barracks would form & very suitable site for offices, and would very much relieve the strain of office accommodation, And going further East, there would be a large area of flat land available for the building of shops and houses for the Chinese and "others trading in the Colony, to live in. It would be of benefit to all classes and races in this community. And then, over at Kowloon, right in the very hub and centre of the Tsim-tsai-tsui Peninsula, there
were the barracks cccupied by Indian troops, and the stables for their mules. Kowloon was in need of building
sites, and they urged most strongly upon the Secretary of State for the Coffins to use every influence he could possibly bring to bear to remove the troops and the mules further away from the central portion of the Kowloon Peninsula, as well as from the Murray Barracks, and the Murray Parade ground, and
the adjoining buildings occupied by the military in Queen's Road. The question! was one that had been constantly raised ing(Council during the last three years. for it had been felt that it was imperative in the interests of the community that there should be this transference of the military to positions further out. He could assure them that the Hongkong Government had been working away at the matter. But they wanted as well to impress upon the Secretary of State for the Colonies the importance of the matter, and that was why 4 was specifically mentioned in the terms of this resolution. He thought that the removal of the military land would tend generally to solve the housing problem by giving large tracts of land on both sides of the Harbour for commercial and residential building, and land which was already fat for building DR. At the recent meeting of the
Bank Hongkong and Shanghai
the Chairman (Mr. Lang) very forcibly expressed his views on the subject,—views which were no doubt the views also of his Directors, and they were synonymous with those of this meeting. In fact one might say they were the unanimous views of the Colony generally.
The commercial community of the Colony was doing its best to bring about the removal of the military, and the Hongkong Government was urging the transference. They wanted to strengthen the hands of the Government, and the leaders of the commercial world, and all these who had the question at heart. They wanted to enlist all the support possible in favour of the resolution, so as to convince the Secretary of State for the Colonies that people of all classes, and of all races in this Colony are unanimous in pressing forward this much needed reforta.
Mr. A. R. Lown seconded.

THOSE MILILARY LANDS.
I was disappointed that there was no reference made from the Chair to what has become a question of over increasing urgency, I refer to the removal of the Military Establishments from the centre of Victoria. Although at the Bank Meet- ing held recently, the Chairman spoke in no uncertain manner on this matter, I think that at every meating of business men held in Hongkong, the opportunity should be taken of protesting against the continuance of the present state of affairs. The large reclamation now in progress in the Eastern side of the town, and the removal of Morrison Hill, will make that district of ever increasing importance. An evidence of this is to be seen in the prices now being paid for land at Quarry Bay. between the Eastern and the Central 'Se tions of the town, the Military lands thrust in a wedge which will prove an increasing inconvenience to communication and the proper development of the Citr. WAR
OFFICE AUTHORITIES ARE THE ONLY
OBSTACLE.
It is not easy to understand an official attitude which has persisted for over twenty years in keeping the garrison in its present cramped and insanitary sur- roundings when there are so many sites available. far more suitable from a
point of view, and on which the troops would enjoy those facilities for recreation which are denied them at present. No doubt at the beginning of the Colony's history, the present location of the garrison was quite appropriate, but with the making of roads and the development of motor transport, its use- ' fulness for military purposes has long gone out of date. I understand that the War Office authorities are the only obstacle to a satisfactory exchange of sitas being arranged. We contribute 20 per cent, of our revenue to the Imperial ¡Exchequer, but the extraordinary obstinacy of the War Office, costs the trade of the Colony a vastly larger sum!
than that.
Owing to the impossibility of expansion in the natural direction land in the central district has risen from $8.00 to 1850 per
square foot during the last :ifteen years, and route have ingesamod 50 per cent. during the same period. Without exception, every Foreign business Company and firm and every Foreign shopkeeper is affected by this, and consequently the whole community.
Had the Military lands been available, these enormous increases would not have taken place, and the high cost of living, which is so detrimental to the Colony have been in part avoided. I hope the Chamber will endorse the remarks you, Sir, made recently on this subject in your capacity of Chairman of the Hongkong Fand Shanghai Bank, and will send a strong representation to the Government on this vitally important matter,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 6th April, 1923.
My Lord Duke,
I have the honour to state that certain difficulties in connection with the system of payment of rewards to informers have been receiving the consideration
of this Government.
This question has become of increased
importance in recent years for various reasons, such as the high price of Government opium and the large supplies of illicit opium available for smuggling into the Colony, and
the imposition of higher taxes on liquors and tobacco,
which render smuggling profitable and call for effective measures to safeguard the Colony's revenue. The checking
of the illegal import of arms and drugs into China through
the Colony also depends to a large extent on a supply of
information, which does not appear to be obtainable without
the payment of substantial monetary rewards.
If it were possible to insist on all rewards
being paid direct to informers by senior officers of the
Police and Revenue Departments the objections to the system
would be considerably reduced. But it is claimed that the
identity of informers must as a rule be concealed if they
are to be of further use; and visits to high officials
naturally tend to defeat this object. Under present
conditions also senior officers often have not time to
attend personally to informers.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, K.G.,
Consequently the practice has grow up of informers deal ing direct with subordinate members of the Police and Revenue Departments, both European and Chinese, to whom they give information and through whom rewards on various fixed scales are paid. Such a system lends itself to very serious abuse as it is in the nature of things impossible to prevent the sharing of the rewards between the informers and the subordinate officers with whom they deal, or to provide any efficient check on the transactions It is as a rule impossible to ask an informer to sign a receipt and there is therefore a risk that a dishonest officer may retain part of the reward. Informers also are inclined to attach themselves to particular officers who on occasion find it necessary to advance money on account, recouping themselves out of the rewards when available, and when for any reason, no rewards are forthcoming they look for other opportunities to make up deficits and no doubt to cover future risks. Thus the line where dishonesty begins becomes very indeterminate and there arises a tendency among subordinate officers to look for illegitimate additions to their pay, with a resultant lowering of the standards of public duty in the service generally.
In the Chinese Maritime Customs Service
rewards are paid on a fixed scale to the officer who is
responsible for the seizure of illicit goods, but that Service is concerned merely with cargo passing through, and not with a general search of persons and buildings such as is required in this Colony. This system appears objectionable in that it acknowledges a right to special
rewards for the performance of work for which officers are
already adequately paid, incidentally creating dis- satisfaction among the officers of other Departments to whom similar opportunities are not open. There is also the risk of its tending to cause neglect of duties which
are equally important though not privately remunerative.
Mi1996 Ce 140 00
On the other hand it does define the moral position and
makes it possible to draw a clearer line between honesty
and dishonesty.
In order that my Government may be better
able to decide on the proper course to adopt, I shall be glad if I may be informed of the practice obtaining in
England in the matter of the payment of rewards for
information given to the Pol ice and Revenue Departments, and in particular whether Police and Revenue Officers are
allowed to receive rewards personally in respect of
seizures of contraband goods made by them in the execution of their duty. I shall also be glad to learn whether and
it so to what extent subordinate officers of these Departments are permitted to undertake searches for contraband without in each case first consulting a senior
officer and obtaining his authority.
Copies of this despatch are being sent to the Governments of India, Ceylon, and the Straits Settlements with requests for information as to the systems
in force in those countries.

I have the honour to address Your Grace on the subject of the teaching staff in Government Schools in this Colony and would refer you to my despatches Nos. 70 and
Eo 19622/20 336 of the 3rd March and 29th October, 1920, in which I
622987 reported the vacancies then existing in the establishment.
These vacancies have never been wholly filled
and it has been necessary to make temporary local appoint- ments of partially trained assistant mistresses to meet the
emergency. It was hoped that as conditions after the war
became settled more candidates would be available.
It is now necessary also to expand further
owing to increasing numbers of pupils and it is proposed shortly to establish a new School for British children at
Quarry Bay where there is a large British community connecte with the Taikoo Dockyard and Sugar Refinery.
To provide for the full staffing of the
schools and to replace the temporary women teachers at
present employed nine Assistant Masters Class II and fifteen
Assistant Mistresses are required and I ask Your Grace's
authority to make provision accordingly in the Estimates for
1924. Fifteen temporary Assistant Mistresses on dollar
salaries on varying scales will not then be required.

I should be glad if steps may be taken to select suitable candidates for them at an early date. I would refer Your

I enclose a statement of the qualifications desired but I would point out that should this standard be found to be impracticable it would be preferable to appoint candidates with inferior qualifications and less experience rather than to obtain no teachers at all. Kindergarten mistresses should however be fully trained in the teaching of infants. One mistress capable of teaching mathematics and three kindergarten mistresses are urgently required and I trust therefore that as stated in your telegram of the
tercohadased
17th March the Board of Education has already made recommendations. They should arrive not later than the end of August. It will be sufficient if the remainder are

With reference to Mr. Churchill's despatch
No.398 of the 30th November, 1921, I have the honour to
address Your Grace on the subject of the salary limite in
Colonial Regulation No.29.
It has long been the custom to report only
in the quarterly returns prescribed by Colonial Regulation No.397 appointments made by the Governor to posts of which the initial emoluments do not exceed £300 per annum and I would refer you in this connection to Viscount (then Mr.)
Harcourt's despatch No.60 of the 6th March, 1912, and to Mr. Long's Confidential despatch of the 4th July, 1917.
Mr. Churchill stated that he was prepared to
consider a modification of the equivalent of £300 and I submit therefore that 85000 should be taken as the local
equivalent for appointments of non-Europeans. This figure has been chosen as it may be desirable in the future to appoint graduates of the local University to technical poste in the Public Works Department or in the Medical Department and reference to the Secretary of State in such cases would. appear to serve no useful purpose.
As the revision of the General Orders of this
Government is now in progress I should be glad to receive Your Grace's approval of this proposal by telegraph,

You 50073
My Lord Duke,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Grace's despatch No.24 of February 2nd approving my proposal that the Governor of Hongkong should be authorized
to pay official visits to Maceo without obtaining specific permission in each case.
My proposal, as indicated in my despatch No.397 of the 18th of December, 1922, was made in anticipat- · ion of the necessity of exchanging visits with the new
Governor of Macao.
Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, the new Governor,
arrived in Hongkong on January 3rd from Europe, accompanied by his wife and family and left for Macao in the Portuguese Gunboat "Patria" on the following day. I had invited him to
stay with me but he declined to do so in view of the
shortness of his stay. (This meant, as I gather from the
Consul-General, that Madame Rodrigues wanted to tranship her baggage direct to the "Patria" without unpacking.) He
lunched with me on the 4th of January to meet the higher
officials of the Colony and some of the leading members of the local Portuguese community.
Dr. Rodrigues, who is a member of the
medical profession and was, I understand, for a long time Principal Medical Officer at Goa, has not the strong

personality of his predecessor but strikes me as a well-
informed and well-intentioned man. He made a great point
of his desire to continue the cordial relations which I had established with his predecessor (who was my guest for some weeks before he left for Europe last year) and to co-operate with the Government of Hongkong in any possible way. I assured him that his sentiments were reciprocated and I
think that we may count on a continuance of the friendly
relations of the two Goverments as he has in the last few
months consulted me with regard to a number of matters in which Hongkong might be supposed to take an interest.
We agreed to regard his passing through the
Colony as his official visit, although he had not actually
assumed office, and I undertook to return it at a suitable
opportunity. I was unable to find time to do so until Apri 16th, when I proceeded to Macao, accompanied by my wife and
Captain Neville, Aide-de-Camp, in H.M.S. "Tarantuls" which
was placed at my disposal by the courtesy of Commodore
We left about 9 a.m. arriving in Macao
shortly before noon and returning in the evening.
We were met on landing by the Governor end
Madame Rodrigues and were introduced to most of the leading
officials. A guard of honour on the quay was composed of
sailors from the "Patria" and other gun-boats.
We then proceeded to the Governor's Palace,
where there was a guard of honour of infantry, who struck
me as a well set up and serviceable body of men. They are
Portuguese from Europe who do three years service in Macao.
The black Mozambique troops, whose fine
appearance I had noted on the occasion of my last visit, were not in evidence. The Governor informed me that they
were now stationed at Portes do Cerco on the boundary of
the territory. I gathered that it was thought better to keep them where there was the least chance of friction
12/6 Gp. 140 60,000 11-22 W&S Ltd.
with the Chinese population in view of what happened last year when some trivial quarrel led to a serious riot and the shooting of a number of Chinese, as a result of which
the relations between Macao and Canton were very strained for many months.
The Governor had invited the leading
officials and residents of Macao to meet us at luncheon
during which he delivered a speech in Portuguese of which
I attach an English translation (furnished by his Private Secretary). I replied in the same spirit of cordiality.
The remainder of the afternoon up to 4
o'clock, when we left for Hongkong, was spent in visiting
various points of interest in the city and in getting a general impression of the works which the Government is
now undertaking.
One work of considerable importance is the provision of storage tanks for rain-water. Hitherto the town has been supplied by water brought over by boat from
the island of Lapa and this dependence on an external
supply was the cause of considerable anxiety to the late
Governor Correis da Silva at the time when the Cantonese
were threatening to attack Macao. The intention now is
to supply the European quarter of the town from the tanks under construction, The Chinese population are, I gather,
to be left to look after themselves in the event of the
supplies from Lapa being cut off.
I was glad, however, to learn from the
Governor that his relations with Canton were now much
better than they had been for a long time past and he
seemed confident that the vexed question of the boundary
would be settled amicably as Dr. Sun Yat Sen had expressed concurrence in his view that the matter was one which should be referred to the League of Natione for decision. Whether the fall of Sun Yat Sen, which at
Gp. 140 60,000 11-22 W & Lod.
the moment of writing appears imminent, will result in a change of policy in Canton is of course a matter of conjecture.
The main work now being undertaken is an ambitious scheme of harbour development, from which the Governor professes to hope great things but which to an outsider appears likely to be merely a waste of money. The general plan of the works is shown on the map opposite page 116 of the enclosed year-book. It involves the creation by mad, dredged from the harbour and approach-channels of reclamatione nearly equal in area to the present extent of Macao and the construction of a mmber of basins protected by rubble-mounds. The reclamation work in the Interior Harbour has already been completed and some progress has been made with the works on the other side of the Peninsula.
A contract for the construction of some part of the work at a cost of $6,800,000 has been let to a Dutch firm. I
understand that a sum of some eleven million dollars is
actually available in the Colonial Treasury and the Governor appears to be confident of his ability to complete the whole
scheme. I do not know whether the mud-reclamations will
stand the buildings which it is proposed to put upon them without heavy piling but I should have thought it unlikely, and in any case, even when the docks and warehouses are
built, it seems rather improbable that ships will be able
to get near them. The approach channel shewn on the map,
which it is proposed to keep dredged to a depth of 7 metres will be 5,000 metres long and the task of keeping it free from the silt brought down by the river will, I suspect,
prove too heavy a burden for the resources of Macao. For
much of the distance the present depth is I believe some-
where about two fathoms. The depth in the middle of the
fairway of the Inner Harbour opposite the quay where we
landed was 1† fathoms and I find it difficult to believe
that ships of any size will ever be able to make use of that
„V%. 20112/06 Gp. 140 60,000 11-22 W & Lid.
part of the harbour,
Moreover, even if the difficulties of keeping
the approaches open are overcome there is no obvious reason why large ships should come to Macao which has no industries and no very clear prospect of developing any.
A railway station is shew on the map but the Governor informs me that the idea of a line to Canton has been abandoned as involving enormous expenditure on bridges. His present idea is that a railway into the neigbouring parts of the Heung Shan district will make Macao the collecting and distributing centre of that country.
The creation of a prosperous port at Macao could scarcely fail to be of advantage to the trade of Hongkong and if the present project were to prove a success
I should be very pleased
and even more surprised.

my personel gratitude to that of the Government of this Colony which is so much obliged to Your Excellency for many and worthy services - some of them in very difficult hours.

And for that we can understand the existence
of the most ancient alliance in the world, the one existing since 1370 between Great Britain and Portugal.
The necessity of our common understanding
has been recognized in every great social crisis, and that alliance has been sealed with English and Portuguese blood very often shed on the same battle field.
Out here, in the Far East, where we arrived four centuries ago, the reasons that link undissolubly the policy of our two countries are still greater.
Just now, that England's attitude before China's troubles and unhappiness is counseled by the high- est sentiments of humanity, Portugal wilfully follows that policy, doing its best to co-operate in the same high design.

But, even in this point, the Portuguese Government wishes to go its way in a perfect understanding with the great port of Hongkong, of which Macao must be a complement, serving the Southwestern part of Kwangtung.
The work we are endeavouring earnest) v to accomplish is one of general interest by its evident effects in the private life of this Colony, in its Chinese populatio and in the Colony Your Excellency so distinguishly rules.
Govermen te, Excellency, are directed by the
high ideal of well serving their own countries.
Macao is to Hongkong the same Portugal is to England: they live in the best understanding of their comman interest, and no beguiling news can give rise to misunder- standing and separate them.
I avail myself of this opportunity to thank Your Excellency the kindnesses and honours Your Excellency has been so kind to render to the General Sir Gomes da Costa, when he visited the Portuguese Community of Hongkong.
With the respets of my Government and myself,
I drink to the happiness of Lady Stubbs and Your Excellency.

of the Ordinance to authorise the making of rules dealing with the conversion of currency.
The Attorney General agrees with the Chief Justice's proposals and I shall be glad to have your approval in order that legislative effect may be given to them.

I have the honour to forward to Your Excel - lency a print of the proposed rules to be made by me under section 5 of the Judgments (Facilities for Enforcement) Ordinance, 192), Before they are approved, however, there will have to be an amendment of the Ordinance giving me power to make the rule (No.20) dealing with the conversion of foreign currency into Hongkong currency. A copy of the amendment proposed by the Attorney Genera] is attached. This question has not been dealt with by the English rules,
but it is essential to have some fixed date for conversion.
As the rule (20) will affect the amount to be remitted in
respect of any English judgment debt recovered in Hongkong
I would suggest that the rules and the proposed amendment of the Ordinance be submitted to the Secretary of State.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
26th April, 1923.
I have the honour to transmit the enclosed note by Mr. Fletcher, Acting Colonial Secretary, of a conversation with Mr, Liang Shib-yi and Kr. Yeh Kung-cho, the interview having resulted from a request by Mr. Yah to pay a formal call.
The opinions expressed are, of course, largely partisan in nature, but they are of interest as being the professed views of two ex-officials who have figured prominently in Chinese politics.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Grace's most obedient
humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, K.G.,
Your Excellency,
Mr. Liang Shih-yi and Mr. Yeh Kung-cho, ex-Minister of Communications, came to tea at my house yesterday, accom- panied by Sir R. Ho Tung who interpreted. They discussed politics for over two houre.
With regard to the present Canton situation, they think that Tu Pei-fu has missed thechance which was offered to him.
He is no administrator and is no judge of the qualities which go to make up an administrator. Hence the failure, one after another, of the puppets whom he has put up in Peking. His inability to introduce any stability into the Government is making him increasingly unpopular.
Chang Tso-lin on the other hand is a good administra- tor and, particularly, a good financier. He went to Manchuria to find a debt of $18,000,000 which he has now converted into a surplus of $30,000,000. There is no Japanese money in this. A large part of it is revenue properly belonging to the Central Government, but Chang holds it in trust for the nation,
4. The salvation of the country lies in the pacification of each province separately under its separate head, who must be a native of his province. in excellent example has been set in Shensi, which has been well administered during the past ten years, and Chang Tso-lin has been most successful in Manchuria, where the popular support accorded him is largely due to the fact that he is in his own country. Chang Tso-lin and Dr. Sum are proceeding along the right lines of pacifica- tion and consolidation, there being no possible chance that the problem will be solved by militarim. It is noteworthy that Dr. Sun has abandoned his extremist policy with its entire dependence upon the Kwok Man Tong and is nominating picked men to official posts irrespective of their particular party: whereby he has gained considerably in popularity among the merchant class. Dr. Sun will very possibly succeed in fimly

establishing himself, though it is too early to speak with
any certainty, as it is not known what reinforcements Wu Pei-fu can send. Chang Tso-lin is assisting Dr. Sun with funds. (I gathered that Er. Yeh is here for the purpose of arranging this). Chan Kwing-ming cannot move from Waichow because of the presence of Hsu at Swatow,
Mr. Liang emphasised the possibilities of a dangerous situation at Shanghai. Lu Yung-heiang, Tuchun of Cheklang, and Ho Feng-lin, Military Commander in Shanghai, with some 10,000 troops, are at loggerheads with Wu Pei-fu who is egging on the fleet at Shanghai to attack them; the fleet consisting of 3 large and 10 old mall vessels. The Admiral, To Shih-kwei, is not with the fleet, and the Commanders of the ships have declared their independence. If, however, the fleet should go over to Wu Pei-fu, he would attack Shanghai and there would be serious fighting round
the city, whose supplies might be cut off. Kr. Liang insisted that the danger was a very real one, and he suggest- ed that the Consul-General should be warned.
Mr. Liang, supported by Kr. Yeh, argued strongly that the opportunity should be seized, in spite of all obstacles, to construct the loop-line. I pointed out the difficulties and, after much discussion, they said that they would explore the possibility of building it privately with capital subscribed by Chinese merchants. The Chinese Govern- ment would certainly be prepared totake it over as soon as it was a fait accompli, and in any event, with a large Central Station, it would be a paying concern.
7. Mr. Liang said in conclusion that the policy adopted by this Goverment towards Dr. Sun had given the greatest satisfaction, both in Hongkong and in Canton.

My Lord Duke,
I have the honour to inform Your Grace that
my attention has been dram to the statement in Mr. Churchill's despatch No.303 of the 29th September, 1922, and to the accounts contained in despatch No.49 of the 12th March, 1923, which show that an examination in riding was
held in the case of the recently appointed Police Probationer.
Proficiency in horsemanship is not required of candidates for service in this Colony and would be of
little use to them and I should be gled therefore if this
examination could be dispensed with in future cases, It is
possible that an otherwise suitable candidate might be rejected on account of a test which is unnecessary. I have the honour to be,
