misconduct.

I have not touched on this part of the subject in my numbered despatches N. 8 of today's date, or N.2 of the 3rd instant, nor do I intend, even in this confidential form, to say anything as to Mr. Low's proceedings or to speculate on his motives, but as his name has been brought by Dr Eitel to Your Lordship's attention, I enclose copies of Mr. Low's correspondence with the Colonial Secretary of the 19th of November, 1882.

3.

From that correspondence it will be seen that Mr. Low endeavoured to do that, which Mr. F. B. Johnson has also attempted in another way to do. It was: to make official that which was not official. He did this by applying for the Colonial Secretary's attestation and the official seal of the Colony of Hong Kong to be appended to a letter of mine which he (Mr. Low) well knew was not written by me as Governor but in my private and personal capacity.

4.

In addition to the official correspondence of Mr. Low and the minutes on the subject, I also enclose a copy of a letter dated 20th November, 1881, I wrote to him pointing out the impropriety of the course he was taking, and a copy of his reply.

I make no comment...
