I have under
consideration Sir R. Macdonnell's
despatch 20985 of the 10th April, reporting on
the case of
L. H. Moorson, Surveyor General of Hongkong, together
with the various documents enclosed in that despatch.
I must in the first place observe that your predecessor appears to have entirely misapprehended
the purport of Lord Granville's
confidential despatch of the 7th April, 1870, which
was not in any way connected with the case
that has since arisen. It
did not
apply to the actual case
and I am
of opinion that Sir R. M. was
not justified in the use which he made
of that despatch in the manner which he did.
