Your Excellency,
Canton,
6th October,
1910.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your
Excellency's commurication of September 24, in which it is announced
that, in deference to representatione made, the time during which prepared opium dealers are allowed to hold raw opium purchased, prior to boiling it down, has been extended from three to thirty days.
In reply I would observe that Your Lxcellency would appear to have telegraphed this announcement together with two amplifications, having reference to the withdrawal of the blockade round Portuguese territory at Macao, and the restitution to its owners of opium found contravening the regulations to the Wai-wu-pu, as I am in receipt of instructions from His Majesty's chargé d' Affaires directing me to ascertain whether or not it is proposed
whilst
under transit pass,
to restore all opium illegally seized whils and to remit all fines imposed in respect of alleged irregularities. I am further directed to point out that opiun proceeding into the interior under transit pass is by Treaty and not as an act of grace exempt from seizure and its owners from fine.
A farther communication, which I had the honour to receive from Your Excellency the day before yesterday it is true, informs me that the opium seized at Samshui has been restored to its owners, but nothing is said about the other cases.
May I accordingly enquire what action it is proposed to take with regard therein, so that I may be in position to reply to ir. ax Müller?
