Hon. Colonial Secretary,
Unless the Government through any of its
officials intimated its permission to allow the issue of the licences to await the return of the applicants to the Colony,
I am of opinion that the divan keepers have rendered themselves
liable under Sections 13 and 16 of the Prepared Opium Ordinance
1891, and they could sustain no legal claim for compensation on
the refusal of the Government to issue the licences. I may add
that Regulation 3 enclosed on the licences issued also requires
a bond to be entered into before the divans are opened to the
public.

I observe that His Excellency in his cable
to the Secretary of State says they "were allowed to keep open".

I understand however that the custom of
delaying the issue of the licence after the appointed day (1.0.
the lat. March) owing to the absence of the divan-keepers or for
other reasons has been quite general and this is shown on the
licences with this file (1335/08) from which it appears that a
licence was issued as late as the 18th. of December following
and all the others on dates subsequent to the appointed day.
Having regard to this custom, and putting aside the strictly
legal aspect of the question, to peremptorily refuse the renewal
of a licence for the remainder of the current year would sean-
-ingly inflict a hardship on the keepers concerned and I think
might be regarded as a breach of faith.
I assume that no fee has been paid and
accepted by the Government in respect of any of the licences
concerned.
