I enclose you copy of

a letter

dated 17th Inst., received from Mr. J. McLeavy Brown,

Commissioner of Customs for

Kowloon district, a

having reference to

my steam launch "Darel" having gone to

Chung đang without permission.

I have to state that my

action was in pursuance of some understanding with

the Chinese Customs with a

view to securing for the public the same

liberty

hitherto enjoyed by the inhabitants

of this Colony.

My launch

for some

years

back

has been loaned

once

a year

to a

Chinese priest for the

purpose of going to Chung đang. Hitherto

no permission has been required.

It now

seems that permission

must be obtained before launch can

go to any place in the Canton River,

a practice

as the public may

be ignorant as

of this fact, perhaps you may think it well

to issue

a notification to that effect.

To

The Honourable

C. M. Cave

Acting Colonial Secretary.
