With reference to your belegram of
the Blst. Namo, regarding an application from Messrs, Meyer & Co., for permission to import certain arms into this Colony, I have the honour to inform you that there is no objection to admitting the arms in question.
2. As there is no law in Hongkong
which preventa the importation of arms by licensed deal- ers, such as Meyer & Co., it is perhaps unnecessary to transmit telegraphic communications on the subject.
The export of arms etc., from
- HongKong is not at present allowed except under special
permit.
Je Right Honourable,
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
&C.** 80.. 40.,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
Humble servant,
Henry Assale
GOVERNOR, &C.,
