Sir:-
With reference to your letter of the 17th. of Au-
gust last in regard to Chinese Debtors absconding from
Hongkong, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Gray to
transmit to you herewith for the information of the

ceived from His Majesty's Minister at Peking.
It will be observed that Mr. Mansfield suggests
the possibility of the Hongkong and Canton Governments
coming to some reciprocal arrangement in regard to ques-
tions of Bankruptcy. I am to inform you that Sir E.
Grey would be glad to learn the Earl of Elgin's views
on Mr. Mansfield's suggestion.
I am to add that Mr. Carnegie's reply to the pro-
posals made to him by Sir M. Nathan has the approval of
Sir E. Gray.
he Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Sice Baningten
