Extract of letter addressed Duncan Dunbar Leg London

by Capt. A. S. Mollison of the British Ship 'Lancashire Witch'
I called
dated Hong Kong 10th Oct 1838
Mr
to
Co give him intimation and to know if he could hold out
any
inducement regarding my getting passengers, who told me he could not at present as the English Government were too strict in regard to English surgeons. Hospital regulations were such as almost made it a moral impossibility to conform to The Laws.
I men called on Mr
to see what he could do as he
he is
I may say the principal Agent here for the Chinese Emigration to the Colonies, when he plainly told me, the restrictions at present were such that he could not take up another British Ship, but would send all Chinese passengers
in future in Foreign Bottoms - American and other Continental Vessels which ships will be cleared by their own Consuls and cause no trouble
or vexation and further Mr.
had read his instructions
carefully and found, he could make use of Foreign Bottoms
The consequence is
a few days ago, he chartered a Dutch ship all I can say is from present appearances That British property may
lay here and a Foreigner reap the benefit.
