Government House,
Hongkong, 2nd.February, 1910.
I have the honour to inform Your
Lordship that my attention has been drawn to the fact that
there is still much uncertainty as to the boundaries of the
New Territories added to this Colony by the Convention with
China dated the 9th.June, 1898. The position appears to be
as follows:-
(a) The only documents agreed to by China with res-
pect to the New Territories are the Convention above referred
to (printed on page 120 of Hertslet's "China Treaties") and
the Agreement of the 19th.March, 1899 signed by Mr.Lockhart
and Mr.Wong Teun-shin (printed on p.132 of the Colonial Office
print Eastern No.66 of November, 1900).
(b) The only map agreed to by China is the one attached
to the Convention (vide Hertalet loc. cit.), which is admittedly
incorrect;
(c) there is also a map attached to the Agreement
(vide Eastern No.66 loc. cit.) which is described in Mr.
Lockhart's
