When Mr. Mansfield, then His Majesty's Consul at
Canton, in 1898 raised the question of the right of a Company
registered under the Hongkong Companies Ordinances composed
of Chinese and carrying on business outside the jurisdiction
of Hongkong in China to British Consular recognition and
protection, I had the honour to furnish to His Majesty's
Minister an opinion dated June 1897, a copy of which is hereto
attached.
The general effect of that opinion was that the
business and property of a Company duly registered under the
Hongkong Companies Ordinances, of which the provisions were in
accordance with those of the home Companies Acts, could not
be refused recognition whatever might be the nationality of
the individual Directors, Managers, or Shareholders.
further advised that personal protection was not due save as
incidental to the protection of the business of the Company.
In advising that the term "person" in the Ordinance
covered an Alien, I expéeted an alien enemy.

On the matter being referred to the Foreign Office
the opinions of the Law Officers given on previous occasions
with reference to cases in other countries were communicated
to His Majesty's Minister. The Law Officers had advised
"against the acceptance of the doctrine "that foreigners by
registering themselves in this country (England) as a Limited
Company are entitled to claim from His Majesty's Government
the protection afforded to British subjects in foreign countries".
