copies of the correspondence that has passed between us,

ed in Government of India’s U0.2164-C of 30th May 1905, and
2812-24 of 28th March 1907, (vide paragraph 225 of the
Calcutta Volume of Standing orders) I am not able to make the
refund. It will be seen, however, from the Consul General’s
letter of 27th July that he belives a similar concession to
be allowed to British Consuls in French territories, and can
speak of his own knowledge to its hewing granted in one of the
French possessions. I have the honour therefore to suggest
that the matter may be referred for the orders of the
Government of India. It will be seen that the Consul General
has referred the matter to his Government.
