No: 5, of 1845.

Inclosure No: 2 in Desp:

Transmitting Communications to and from His Excellency Keying.

Victoria, Hong Kong, 22nd December, 1844.

I have had the satisfaction to receive Your Excellency's communication on the subject of the execution of the Chuckchu pirates. It will give me great satisfaction to transmit this document to Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs as a proof of the friendship and good faith of the Chinese Government.

The pirates have of late greatly increased; but, if they see that severe examples are made of them by Your Excellency, it will have the effect of restraining their growth, and prevent the necessity of foreign nations taking measures against them.
