to Sir Arthur Hennedy:
"In deference to the policy of your Government as shown in the Immigration Bill, I
have publicly notified that Chinese Emigrants should
avoid proceeding to Queensland:
on enquiry
I find
that the last vessel
that left this port for Queensland was the British Steam Ship
Nelson, and that she sailed on
the 16th May
with 281 Chinese
for Rocktown. At present
there is
a vessel
on the berth
for the
conveyance of Chinese
to the same colony.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most Obedient
humble Servant,
Governor.
