see that permitting it to thus K.J. would be any an answerable argument for permitting it to any foreign country where there is reason to believe that the grant is ill treated.

I do not know that there is any reason to suppose that Chinese Emigrants to British Colonies have been kidnapped on board or after arrival; although there possibly may have been kidnapping by native recruiters before embarkation. Our Emigration Agent, and Consuls ought to have the means of satisfying themselves whether any person produced before them intending Emigrant has been kidnapped and they ought not to allow any kidnapped person to embark, nor do they knowingly.

I do not think that "Veritas" states the case quite fairly as to the convention of 1886. The British and French Ministers executed with the Chinese government a convention for emigration from China which stipulated for a return passage. The planters declined to receive Chinese on that condition as they considered it would not pay them. The matter therefore fell through.
