Robertson, and in previous numbers of the China Mail. The substance of that report was recapitulated in M. Walcott's letter of 19th Sept. last, the conclusion being that the Law in Hongkong was neither efficient nor effectively administered, and that the shipment of kidnapped reluctant Coolies, which was alleged to have taken place, was almost impossible.
In his present despatch Sir R. McDonnell transmits a further report from Mr. Thomsett. This report very largely goes over much the same ground as former reports on the subject, and shows, I think, conclusively, that if the Law is carried out in good faith by the Emigration officer no fraud can be practised on emigrants at Hongkong. Sir R. McDonnell expresses the same opinion and, while giving the most direct and uncompromising contradiction to the statements in the "China Mail", adds a strong testimony to the zeal & ability of Mr. Thomsett. I may, therefore, think it assumed that Emigration from Hongkong as at present conducted is not obnoxious to the charges brought against it by the "China Mail", but is conducted honestly & humanely.
