I an directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to trans-
mit to you herewith, for the confidential information
of the Association, copy of draft King's Regulations
to control dealing in Company shares by British
subjects in China, drawn up by Acting Judge Bourne,
together with copy of correspondence on the subject
transmitted by him.
3ir E. Grey is not quite satisfied with the
drafting of the Regulations prepared by Mr. Bourne
and has caused an alternative draft to be prepared in
this Department. A copy of this alternative draft is
also enclosed herewith.
Sir E. Grey would be glad to be furnished with any
observations which you may desire to make on the
proposed Regulations, and to learn whether you see any
objection to such an enactment.
