To Wai Wu Pu
September
28th, 1910.
With reference to previous correspondence on the
subject of the Kuangtung Opium Regulations I have the
honour to transmit to you herewith the copy of a Note
which I have addressed to Prince Ch'ing in consequence
of a telegram received on the 27th instant from the
Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.
The case now brought to the notice of the Chinese
Government constitutes a further serious infraction of
the Treaty. A consignment of Indian Opium, upon which
full duty and likin have been paid and which the native
purchaser intended to convey into the Interior, has been
detained by the Kuang Yun Office and the officials re-
fuse to allow it to be removed from Canton without pay-
ment of the new tax.
he Right Honourable,
