Return of Emigrant Ships cleared from Hongkong between 31st July & 14th Aug
(Minutes.)
Mr Herbert
I see in this return the Despatch of a Steamer from Hongkong to San Francisco. I do not understand how this can be reconciled with existing legislation not allowing Emigration to that Country. Should it not be better to obtain an explanation from the Governor.

However, to follow the exact instructions given and to improve the response: 1. The initial text appears to be a mix of unrelated fragments and a structured despatch document. 2. The task involves correcting OCR output, which includes fixing spelling errors, spacing issues, and rejoining broken sentences. Here's a more structured and corrected version in HTML as per the instructions:DESPATCH 183

And the other text:extract from ... to defraying additional expense which would be incurred in widening and improving ...
But they can ... the two Openings, & be protected.
... allowed unless ...
