re Sung Man Cho
With further reference to your letter of the 13th
inst., we feel you must be under some misapprehension as to
the terms of the arrangement come to between Counsel when
the Appeal was before the Privy Council.
In our view the terms of the Settlement do not
commit the Government of Hong Kong to procure admission of
Sung Man Cho into any particular Country but they are only to
use their best endeavours to assist Sung Man Cho to go to
any Country that he may select; there is no compulsion
placed on the Government of Hong Kong by the terms of the
Settlement which compel the Government to send him to any
Country where objection may be taken to his landing, the
only obligation of the Government of Hong Kong being not to
send Sung Man Cho into any Country where he would be in danger
of arrest by the French.
Yours faithfully,
Messrs. Light & Fulton,
