...
On the 2? Instant I sent to you a newspaper report of proceedings of Legislative Council in connexion with the Opium Law discussion, and a further note on the subject of Lord Ripon, showing how the Local Government had, for the time being, to give way and submit to the Secretary of State.
The instructions now received, together with press reports of proceedings at the Police Court yesterday, by which you will see that the River Police are on the alert regarding Smuggling, were a bad case. Here we have a coolie on board a steamer caught by the Customs and Preventive officers, with 50 tins of prepared Opium in his possession, which he is unable to give any satisfactory account of.
