Ilote no time in replying to Gora Cordship # Despatch No: 30 of the 26 March, the important subject of Jurisdiction= over the Chinese of this Colony.
Spremise by remarking that the observations of Lord Stanley and of the Law Officers of the Crown enclosed in Jour
1th Lordship's Despatch No: 54 of 1843, appear to me so unanswerable as to the practical impossibility of abandoning
jurisdiction
over
our
the Chinese of Hong Kong
without converting the sovereignty of the
island into
a mere
recupancy, that
they might decide the question as to
The Right Honorable,
The Earl of Aberdeen, K.T.
