with reference to paragraph 6 of Shanghai
Mespatch No.bl of the 4th February, a copy of which
was sent to you "irect, you shoul4 in the first place
sAvise the Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation Limit-
ef to withdraw their application for the registration
of their lemah as a British vessel. Should they not
be willing to do so, I authorize you to warn them that
after such registration is effected sation will be taken
to prevent the launch from being used for the purpose
for which it is inten^e^ by the withdrawal of protee-
tion under the provisions of Ting's Degulations "o.1
of 1988, and that should thereafter the launch fly the
British fing proceedings will be taken uaer Section 7
of the moy Consular "istrict General Regulations, since
though British protection has been with rawn from the
Company it still of course remains subject to British
jurisiction.
