for permission to ship is quite distinct
in principle from the usual shipping fee in return for which the Shipping

and by British Ship's to the Colonial
Shipping

all
other ports
in the British Possessions abroad.
In conclusion, I am to state that
the system of permits at Hong Kong appears
to be so exceptional and open to objection
as to require
some more
specific
justification
