My Lord,
In reference to your Lordship's despatch No. 165 of August 9, I have the honour to transmit a copy of the Hongkong Gazette containing a Colonial Ordinance No. 1 of 1855, which, when confirmed by Her Majesty, will have reference to the disposal of ammunition and Military Stores.
I am sorry to come to the conclusion that local legislation would not afford adequate security as to the place of destination by the consignees of such objects.
I have consulted the best Authorities,

It might perhaps be advantageous to pass a law that should prohibit the exportation of arms & ammunition, except on the terms of complying with some regulation which might afford some sufficient security as to the place of their destinations, the persons to whom they are consigned.
