but it seems to me unwise to depend entirely on the extent to which the collection of Chinese revenue is to be carried on and on the terms and conditions under which it is to be allowed.
One important feature of Mr Hart's scheme is that he proposes to induce Li to give up the "Blockade" altogether on condition of the Opium Duties alone being secured to him by collection in Hong Kong.
Mr Hart admits that the Colonial government might itself undertake the collection of these duties, but to his mind, the collection of revenue for the Chinese by British Officers in British Territory is best. He holds out the probability of being able, in conjunction with Mr Wade, to put sufficient pressure upon the Hoppo of Canton through the Authorities.
As regards the collection of revenue by Chinese Officers in British Territory, it is repugnant to the Colonial government.
