A Sir R. MacDonnell having been advised by his Attorney General that he had no legal power to prohibit the Emigration, took, I think, all the precautions he could to ensure fair treatment for the Emigrants
But it is evident that he consented to the Emigration with much hesitation and reluctance, in which it is, I think, impossible not to sympathise. It is clear that whatever stipulations the Governor might make in favour of the Emigrants before they left Hongkong, there would be no possibility of enforcing them in Peru - and the description of Chinese Immigrants there is, unfortunately, far from satisfactory.
M.D. Jerningham, H.M. Chargé d'Affaires at Lima, in a recent report to the Foreign Office described them as obtaining little consideration from their Employers - small in appearance - overtasked in strength - leading a life of hardship - less able to amalgamate with the natives than the uncivilized negro - and herding, therefore, together indulging in the vices - including gambling and opium smoking - to which they are habituated in their own country.
