I laid before the Marquess of Lansdowne your
letter of the 6th instant enclosing an ordinance to
further amend the Raw Opium Ordinance of 1887 which
has been passed by the Legislative Council of Hong-
kong and which has received the Governor's assent.
Lord Lansdowne concurs in Mr. Secretary
Chamberlain's view that there seems no reason for
disallowing this Ordinance.
The original enclosure in your letter is re-
turned herewith.
I am,
Under Secretary of State
Colonial office.
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Laucis Bertie Francis
