Opium.-19. Having addressed themselves to the portions of the Convention more immediately affecting Hongkong, Your Memorialists would also record their conviction that the proposed increase in the duty on Opium will affect this Colony, inasmuch as, by stimulating the growth and consumption of native drug, it will lessen the import of Indian drug, a trade which entirely flows through Hongkong in the first instance.

20. Your Memorialists trust their earnestness with regard to these matters will secure for their remarks an attentive consideration by Your Lordship, and that you will thereupon be enabled to advise Her Majesty that in any Revision of the Treaty the objections now put forward must prevent those clauses being agreed to,

AND YOUR MEMORIALISTS WILL EVER PRAY.
