Enclosure Mr. 1 in Governor Sir Richard Graves Mac Donnell's Dispatch N. 76 of 31st July 1869

Opinion 522

The Chinese Government may, if they please, declare the shipping of Coolies from Chinese Ports under contracts otherwise to be Piracy.
It is an offence punishable as Piracy and may enforce such a Law in their own Courts against their own Subjects. But such a Law cannot of course go beyond that, and they would have no right to seize on the high seas any Chinese Immigrant Ship sailing under a foreign flag, the offence being created and made punishable only by the Municipal Laws of China and not being the offence of Piracy jure gentium.
