sir,
29 SEP 09
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your despatch No. 42, of the 6th. ultimo, in which you
direct me to furnish you with a report on the proposal
that a reciprocal arrangement with regard to bankruptøy
proceedings should be made between the Government of Hong-
kong and the Provinciɛl Authorities at Canton.
I venture to premise the observations I have to
sake on this subject by explaining that, while the question
of bankruptcy proceedings and the larger question of the
execution of Hongkong Judṛments in Canton has more than
once been the subject of informal discussion between the
Governor of Hongkong and myself, I have not so far made
any official representations to the Hongkong Government
