Receiver
In continuation of Despatch N. 167 of 134 from Bowring, regarding the appointment of October, urging the transportation of Chinese Convicts.
Governor Sir John Bowring, Hongkong, 12 November 1856.
The Rt. Hon. The Earl of Clarendon, M.P.
Gov 276 Kong Entered 140
N°12
I have to acknowledge your Despatch N° 184 of the 12 Nov. last on the subject of the transportation of Chinese Convicts from Hong Kong.
I have recently addressed you on this subject, and I refer you to my Despatch N°144 of the 22 Ultimo.
Lord Labouchere's despatch of 22 Dec. would seem to supply the answer to this. The rest of the letter must have been written when this despatch was received.
