A scheme is intended to anticipate and prevent!!.

Mrr Wade's scheme, which he only examined attentively, might be supposed that Mr Wade merely proposed that Chinese Officers should be stationed at Hong Kong to levy duties on cargoes in Chinese bottoms expressed in his Telegram the 16th January last.

Some might see perhaps a rough, good-natured sort of equity in a weak government catching delinquent subjects in British harbour - when it could not catch them outside - by bonding the warehouses of the resident Merchants for its own management means.

As his Despatch, though long, is not paged and its paragraphs are not numbered, I concisely refer to the paragraph which fully discloses this. He there tells us that "the Chinese Customs - i.e. to be established in Hong Kong - are to be allowed, in the Dutch fashion, to bond the warehouses of the resident Merchants. All cargo carried to a Treaty Port and levy duties on it. All cargo landed or shipped by Junks in Hong Kong Harbour is to be managed in a hulk; all cargo brought to Hong Kong is to be certified."

He there tells us that "the Chinese Customs - i.e. to be established in Hong Kong - are to be allowed, in the Dutch fashion, to bond the warehouses of the resident Merchants for house or management means."

"All cargo brought to Hong Kong - to ship in a hulk; all cargo carried to a Treaty Port - and levy duties on it."

"All cargo landed or shipped by Junks in Hong Kong Harbour is to be managed; however this is but a small part."
