Consequently, it will be essential that the Draught Ordinance should be altogether settled by communication between Her Majesty's Foreign office and the Portuguese Government - and it would then be the duty of the Legislature here to pass it as received without any change. 7. I may add that I find myself obliged to apply to the Government of Macao probably once a year for 20 or 30 times in the assistance in tracking and recovering fugitives from justice here, whilst I am unable to reciprocate the facilities afforded by the Government of Macao.
