Cystore Hance, they had quarrelled that these Stations should be in future confined solely to their legitimate function of preventing smuggling their only raison d'être.

A reasonable justification for their existence.

Should however the officer Administering the Government of Hongkong not be fully disposed to interfere, Messrs Lapraik can avoid the two exactions in question by shipping their Kerosine under a foreign flag, when it will be only liable on arrival to the Tariff desport and if they wish to send it beyond the limits of the Foreign Settlement, they can pass it on payment of the Tariff Transit dues, the native Authorities not allowing them to tax it further until it has actually passed into the hands of the native purchaser.

I have, &c.) C. Alabaster.
