In obedience toyt's commands we have taken these Papers unto consideration & have the honor to report
Ma
That having regard to the state of hostility wh. Exists between the British subjects at Hong Kong & Chimere at Canton & it's neighbourhood we think it is impossible to try the proceeding rdopted by his J. Bowring by the Rule wh. would

between Hong Kongk that part of
Chuis - but we
think the
steps
taken
bykis J. Bowring might become matters of Dangerous precedent, & we sh? recommend that no similar proceeding be resorted to on any future rccasion of the like nature.
