? Reply to Sir George Maxwell thanking him
for his suggestions, saying that the S. of S.
has already reached a decision as to the policy
to be pursued on this question; that in view
of the very great differences between the
Mui Tsai system in Hong Kong which so far as
it involved any kind of personal slavery, has
already been declared to be unrecognised by Law
and the Debt-slave system in Kedah ← an exact
7 application of the Kedah plan of Reform
would
be impossible, but that such parts of it as are of
use in Hong Kong have been or will be applied.
The previous file, 62758, should be returned
to the Printing Department as early as possible.
