I am, therefore,
in the darke
6.
to
what the Chief Justice contemplated:
Bearing on this subject I take the opportunity of transmitting copy of the "Boletim da Provincia" of Macao, wherein is published the Report for 1872 of the Superintendent of Emigration, and its Returns as to the number etc of Emigrants who have left that Colony for Havana, Callao and other places.
17.
I annex, also, a copy of a despatch containing a proclamation of the Governor of Macao notifying that the Emigrants to Peru are to receive gratuitous return passages to China, in lieu of money in lieu thereof, at the expiration of their periods of service.
8.
There is no reason to doubt the bona fides of this well-intentioned statement as far as the Macao Government is concerned, but I am not clear how this stipulation is to be carried out, or how the Macao Government is to ensure, on behalf of the Emigrant, the faithful discharge in Peru of what is thus promised.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
Lennedy
Governor
Enclosure Nr. 5.
