Article XXI of the Treaty of Tientsin, and 2 others apply to the case of prisoners for whose surrender application has been made to the Governor of Hongkong by the Governor of Canton. The opinion of the Law Officers has also been asked as to how far Her Majesty's Government would be justified in continuing to surrender Chinese Fugitives under the Treaty without satisfactory guarantees against the application of torture or any kind or for any purpose whatever. On this point, I have to inform you that a letter was addressed to the Acting Colonial Secretary on the 11th July last by Messrs Brereton, Votton, and Jeane.
