I have indeed hesitated to express & definite
nion on so important and complicated a question, a
tion which has been exhaustively discussed by the high icials, both executive und judicial, of the Hongkong jerment, (Printed correspondence re, execution of civil
munts of the Wongkong Courts in China, July 1906), one on which such eminent authorities as the Judge of Majesty's Supreme Court in Shanghai and the Chief atice of His Majesty's Supreme Court in Hongkong hold Ich widely divergent opinions. (Sir R. de Jansmarez'
Irute, dated October 27th. 1906).
I observe that His Majesty's Under Secretary
er State in his despatch to you No. 161 of June 1st,
refers
Bo the "recovery of debts incurred in Hongkong by natives China who abscond to the mainland*, but your despatch under acknowledgment calls only for a report on the question of bankruptcy proceedings. I propose therefore Bo confine my remarks as much as possible to the latter
question.
