Your Highness,
CO 36287
Peking, September 28, 1910.
28 1927 10
Rra 26 NOV 10]
I have the honour to invite Your Marx Highness' most
serious attention to a further case of illegal seizure of foreign
opium conveyed under transit pass, which has occured at Canton,
the actual seat of the Viceroy of the Liang Kuang Provinces.
The facts of this case, which have been telegraphically
communicated to me by the Governor of Hongkong, are as follows:-
On the 21st instant the Shun Yi Shiu shop at Canton
purchased from Messrs. Sassoon & Company 5 chests of Patna and 6
cheets of Malwa Opium. Full duty and likin was paid on this opium
by the purchasers, who intended to convey the opium to the pro-
vince of Kiangsi for sale. The Kuangyun Officer however refused
to permit the opium to leave Canton without payment of the new
tax, and the opium cheats are now detained in Canton.
I have the honour to remind Your Highness that this is
now the seventh case which I have been forced to bring to Your
Highness' notice, in which the Provincial Authorities of Kuang-
tung have claimed, contrary to direct Treaty stipulations, this
illegal levy on foreign opium. It provides an additional proof
of the absolute necessity of withdrawing the new Kuangtung Opium
Regulations if constant friction between the British and Chinese
authorities is to be avoided. His Majesty's Government cannot view
with indifference the neglect of the Chinese Government to put a
stop to these abuses in the Province of Kuangtung, and I take this
opportunity
