That we are of opinion that if the language of the convention of 24th September 1856 really differed from the language of the 18th of 19th Vic. C104. The Act must furnish the governing rules & not the Convention But we do not think the language of the two documents really differs & it appears to us that the interpretation clause of the Act clearly includes in its terms the two classes of Steamers as to which your Lordship has Consulted us. We think that these classes of Steamers are not exempted from the operation of the "Chinese Passengers Act 1855" and that there are no grounds upon which such exemption can be supported.
We have the honor to be My Lord Your Lordship's Most Obedient humble Servants
