My Lord:-

HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S SUPREME COURT,

SHANGHAI, 24th October, 1890.

24026 Reck (REG 11 DEC 90)

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's despatch of the 20th August 1890 enclosing a copy of correspondence between the Foreign and Colonial Offices with reference to the case of the Prisoner Hone, and the position generally of Consular prisoners serving out their sentences in a Colonial Gaol.

In obedience to Your Lordship's request for any remarks I may have to make upon the subject I have the honour to state that in my opinion Prisoners sentenced by this or any other of Her Majesty's Courts in China to imprisonment in the Colonial Gaol at Hong Kong should certainly have the benefit of the Colonial system of remission of terms of imprisonment by marks but that it appears to me to be very questionable whether this object could properly be effected by a general regulation under the Orders in Council.

The power of making regulations which is vested in Her Majesty's Minister in China by the Order in Council of 1881 would seem to be restricted to the case of British subjects resident in or resorting to China and Japan, or to prisons in China.

The Marquis of Salisbury, K.G.,
