I am to add that, having consulted the Law Officers of the Crown in regard to the Ordinance proposed to be issued by the Governor of Hongkong, Lord Stanley is advised that it is within the power of the Governor to introduce an Ordinance having for its purpose to enforce by penalties Laws which will, to use the Governor's words, "enable the Government to keep abreast of the Chinese Authorities in the movement which they are about to initiate"; but, without knowing more specifically the nature of the proposed Ordinance, no further remark can be made.
