I should have been ... disposed to transmit it without any comment, but that I find Mr Keswick complains not only of something that occurred in connection with the King's visit but also of what he calls the treatment he received as a member of the Legislative Council. As he has mixed up the two questions I am compelled to write on both subjects, but I deal with the latter in a separate despatch.

3.

I am not surprised that Mr. Keswick should have resigned his post of Consul General of Hawaii. The attempt he made to involve King Kalakaua in unpleasant relations with the Hongkong Government and his persistent continuance of a controversy which the King had instructed him to drop would doubtless have entailed his removal from that honorary post.

4.

As regards the King's visit, the first notice I got of it was not from Mr. Keswick, as he supposes, but by a message conveyed through Vetersen of the Chinese steamer "Captain Hochung" which was officially conveyed to the Acting Colonial Secretary for my information on the 1st of February, Mr. Keswick's first letter on the subject was dated 24th March, 1881.
