sir,
With reference to the memorandum that was handed to you yesterday, we have now obtained a letter written by Kwong Yuen Branch Office at Shiu Shing (Shui Hing) to the Cho Ki firm (letter and trans-
endawa lation) demanding the payment of the new tax on the 8 chests Patna opium, which were imported and sold before the establishment of the We have on several occasions Branch Office of the Kwong Yuen firm, pointed out that the tax, nominally called the prepared opium tax,
is really levied on raw opium, and this letter affords a further proof, if any were needed, that such is the case.
2.
With regard to the seizure of the 20 balls of Patna opium at Samshui, mentioned in our memorandum which was handed you on the 8th instant, we are just informed by the owner that the opium has now been confiscated by the Kwong Yuen General Office. This was done in spite of the protest addressed by H.B.M's Consul General to the Aoting Governor General of the Liang Kwang Provinces.
3. We shall feel obliged if His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government would be good enough to bring the above facts to the notice of the Charge d'Affaires at Peking and the
Consul General at Canton.
We have etc,
Hon.Mr.A.M.Thomson,
