In obedience to Your Lordship's commands we have the honor to Report,

That in case of persons of Chinese origin in China, where the status of a British Subject has been properly established and is duly certificated, he is found to obey the laws & regulations of the place in which he may be residing or travelling but to owe allegiance to the British Government and is entitled to the protection of the British Government, limited and subject to the conditions which may be imposed.

We see no reason why the condition of this protection, a particular costume (as provided by Sir R. Alcock's notification of "Act 7/68") should not be imposed.

Part of H.M. Minister at Peking will be able to form an opinion whether any modification is required and he might be instructed to confer with the Chinese Government on the matter.

When the conditions for protection have been settled, H.M. Minister should be instructed to make it known to the British Chinese that they will be in Chinese territory entitled to the protection of H.M. Government only on their compliance with the conditions.

We have,

J.D. Cobridge
