With reference to your letter of the 23rd March You. (No. 7812/1912) transmitting copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong on the subject of the Steam Ship "Paul Bean", I am directed by the Board of Trade to state, for the information of Mr. Secretary Harcourt, that they are of opinion that in view of the Agreement arrived at in 1907 between the Governments of the United Kingdom and France for the mutual recognition of the laws and regul a- tions for the safety of shipping and the certificates of passenger steamships, the best course to adopt in the circumstances set forth in the correspondence accompanying the Governor's letter of the 5th of February last, is to confirm the provisional certificate issued to the S.S. "Paul Bean" authorising her to carry 1,200 passengers. In the event of such a certificate being withheld, it appears that the French Consul would be able to summon a Court of Survey, and grant a "permis de navigation" for the Special Service, which, in view of the Anglo-French agree. ment, the Hong Kong authorities would be compelled to recognise. As they would thus lose control over the vessel, 80 far as its survey is concerned, it appears to the Board
