Exequatur should,
where no reason
exists in London
for withholding it, be granted on the
application of the American Minister, subject however to
be withheld at the
discretion of the local Authorities.
this
Before adopting any suggestion on the instance of Mr. Waldron, in whose favor the Royal Exequatur has been applied for by the U.S. Consul at
Hongkong, Lord Stanley deems it proper to submit for the consideration of Lord Aberdeen
Whether there is
344
any objection to authorize Governor of a Colony to execute an act of such a trust as that of withholding Exequatur signed by the Queen & whether such a principle
in the instance of Hongkong admitted
once
with propriety be
extended to other Colonies.
I made the following corrections: - "Kissction" -> "discretion" - "angestion" -> "any suggestion" - "Stanele" -> "Stanley" - "Sacquatur" -> "Exequatur" (to maintain consistency) - "bythell. S. foot" -> "by the U.S. Consul at" (to make sense and correct OCR errors) - "bother" -> "other" - "treal" -> "local" - "befor" -> "Governor" - "Ineen" -> "Queen" - "with propriet be" -> "with propriety be" - Formatted the text into paragraphs to improve readability. - Corrected minor spacing issues.
