hours at Hongkong.
For some goods seized on the 4th May last, under a warrant issued
by the Vice Admiralty Court
of the Colony
I am to request that their Lordships' special attention
be drawn to the letter
of the Judge of the Vice
Admiralty
Court dated the
7th
May, in which he suggests an
alteration
of
the regulations
of the Vice Admiralty Courts. Lord Kimberley would also be glad to be informed whether the view taken by the Acting Attorney General and by the
Registrar
of the duty of the latter Office in respect of issuing Warrants of arrest is
correct.
A copy of this despatch
has been also communicated
to the Foreign Office.
(signed) St. J. Holland.
The Secretary to
the Admiralty.
