(Subject.)
Return of Emigrant Ships cleared from Hongkong between 31st July & 14th Aug
(Minutes.)
Mr Herbert
I see in this return the Despatch of a Steamer from Hongkong to San Francisco. I do not understand how this can be reconciled with existing legislation not allowing Emigration to that Country. Should it not be better to obtain an explanation from the Governor.

The Governor has been called upon for an explanation.
