I enquired for Your Lordships' information a Memorandum drawn up, in the absence of the Attorney General, by Mr. Edward Pollard, Acting Chief Magistrate. It is the result of some conversation which we had on interesting topics to which it refers.

I confess I do not quite go with him that length, but I fully agree with him that in numerous cases, where the Chinese and English Jurisdictions overlap, there is at least concurrent Jurisdiction, not terminated by Hongkong embracing a whole Chinese Island and parts of Islands, Lamma Island on the South.
It may then be deserving of inquiry, and in fact ought to be settled, whether over water which extends jurisdiction from the shore, vessels on the opposite side, if within the Marine league, are subject to our jurisdiction.
I may here mention as an instance of the occasional importance of these questions, that lately a case came before the Magistrates, and is now under appeal, in which the question of jurisdiction over waters arose.
