to Sir Arthur Hennedy:

"In deference to the policy of your Government as shown in the Immigration Bill, I

have publicly notified that Chinese Emigrants should

avoid proceeding to Queensland:

on enquiry

I find

that the last vessel

that left this port for Queensland was the British Steam Ship

Nelson, and that she sailed on

the 16th May

with 281 Chinese

for Rocktown. At present

there is

a vessel

on the berth

for the

conveyance of Chinese

to the same colony.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most Obedient

humble Servant,

Governor.
