Extract from letter from Messrs. Jardine, Watheson & Co.ltd. Hongkong,
dated 31st. August, 1912.
OPTON BUGGLING. We are much obliged to you for the statement of seizures of opium on board our steamera and for the coples of correspondence passod between
your goodsslves and the Collector of Customs, which have been rend with interest. It
is satisfactory to learn that steps are being taken to imposa more govore santancer
on the actual culprits. Te are rather surprised to nota from the letter written by
the Collector of Custoas to you on 20th. instant that the Customs have no knowledge
of the investigation made here by Mr. Williron some three years ago and that that
person is not connerbed with the Customs garvica, All we know is that on his
arrival here he presented papers and letters of introduction as a .. Customs
Official, which together our own written advices concerning his intended vialt,
was a sufficient guarantee for us to regard him as a "bone fide" Customs represent-
ative. It is somewhat ungatisfactory to us to learn that the Castors Authorities
now ignore the efforts that were made by us at the time to convince their om
representative that we were doing all possible to prevent the traffic, and to dis-
claim all knowledge of his visit to this port.
with
Te enclose for your information copy of a further joint letter we have
today addressed to the colonial Secretary anclosing particulara of the seizures of
opiwa on board the regular steamera.
Te much regret to leam that the "Loongsang has been again fined *5^0.
in connection with the opium found on beard on the 3rd.ult. To will endeavour to
obtain a copy of the ruling of the Hague Convention in relation to oplus smuggling,
