K. 66

I am determinable by the discretion of the Governor. A list of Regulations on such a subject would be a list of fresh difficulties, and is a measure which might at least be deferred till circumstances prove its necessity.

10. The determination of Her Majesty's Government and the intercession of Sir Rutherford Alcock may therefore be considered as having for the present re-established the relations between Hong Kong and Kowloon on a satisfactory footing, and there would be no need for further remark, but for the observations made by Sir Rutherford Alcock on the subject in a despatch of the 3rd Instant, which he had addressed to Lord Clarendon, and with a copy of which he has obligingly favoured me.

11. Sir Rutherford informs Lord Clarendon, on the strength of a "Memorandum" which he encloses from Mr. Consul Robertson and Mr. Mayers respectively, that the former reported he had never interfered with traffic; on the contrary he had always encouraged communication between Hong Kong and Kowloon in matters of Police. Therefore Sir Rutherford declares the conflicting Statement by Colonel P. H. Anstruther to be not worthy of credence.
