ceast, but as they do that very imperfectly and as injury is done to the trade of Hongkong, by laxity, then some such measures suggested by you should be adopted. I quite concur in your opinion that, in the endeavour to remove the evil caused by assumption of too much power or dealing with piracy, part of Junior Naval Officers, much limitation has been put on the discretion of the superior Officers, The reform has been too sweeping.
Something is wanted more prompt and vigorous than at present.
I also generally concur in reference to the Vice Roy through Her Majesty's Consuls. Local action with the aid of the Chinese Government through a superior Mandarin at Kowloon might, I dare say, be got to work well.
The Subject is well worthy of Lord Kimberley's attention.
