Her Majesty's Government is doubtful,

for although there could be

no

abuses

as

to their shipment here, it is evident that

there

might be

many

abuses and

questionable practices before their arrival

in Hongkong.

What

are

Your

views?

Copy

Remarks by Mr Anstey, Colonial Secretary

When the Emigration

from Hongkong, there were

Agents

at

Macao

and

at

Swatow,

but they had Chinese Collectors under them.

The

same

must

always

be the case?

and such must

always

apprehend. I do not myself see why, with the safeguards at our

disposal, the

Emigration for the West Indies cannot be

carried on

from this

in a manner creditable

to the Government

with

the

necessary

aid

of collectors, but perhaps as Mr. Sampson has been conducting operations since I left China, and would doubtless be continued in his employment in event of resumption,

it would be

well to ascertain from him
