知
My Lord,
23955
With reference to Your Lordship's despatch
No.133 dated the 13th. July, 1906, transmitting a letter
from the Foreign Office with regard to a proposed revision
of the China and Corea Order in Council, I have the honour
to recommend that in place of repealing Article 84 it
should be amended to read as in annexed draft.
2.
Such an amendment would meet the suggestion
contained in the 3rd. paragraph of the despatch under reply
that in cases where it is impossible to arrange for persons
deported to be shipped direct from the Treaty Ports to
their homes the Hongkong Government should assist the
Consular authorities by receiving such persons and arrang-
ing for their repatriation.
3.
The amended Article should be supplemented
by instructions to the Consular authorities that due notice
of the deportation of any person to Hongkong is to be given
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.,
