As to what I shall do as the case proceeds it is impossible for me to say beforehand. I have as a matter of courtesy informed Sir Francis who represents the Chinese Government what it is almost certain that I shall do, but I did this merely as an act of courtesy and in order not to allow him to be taken by surprise. I have not deprived myself of any liberty of action, and all that the acting Attorney General represents is beside the mark until the point actually arises to be decided. If when that happens the Crown is represented, and desires to be heard, every opportunity to what right will be given. Any way any claim that may be advanced on that occasion will be considered.

The case at present stands adjourned to Thursday the 25th April at two o'clock when it will be further adjourned to Monday the 30th inst. at the same hour.

E. Wodehouse

Acting Registrar.

Since writing the above I have received Colonial Secretary's further letter W. 554 of the 23rd April 1887 directing me to act upon the Attorney General's opinions.

I shall make it my duty to at once carry out the orders of His Excellency the Administrator.

However, to strictly follow the format requested, I will revise it again to ensure it is in the correct HTML format. As the original response was already mostly in the correct HTML format, the main correction needed was ensuring that the "Acting Registrar." was on the same line as "E. Wodehouse" with a line break in between, which has been achieved. The response is already quite clean. Let's keep it as is, wrapped properly in HTML paragraph tags. The "Page 121" was not in the original rewritten text; it is assumed to be part of the original scan and should be included as per the instructions.
