Interviews with me

On the 10th inst I received an intimation from the Secretary of Legation at Pekine that he had, in accordance with instructions received from Her Majesty's Government, informed the Chinese Government that their customs could not function in the territory of this Colony.

On the 11th inst I received from Sir M... (End: 1-A.) a copy of the despatch addressed to him by the Viceroy, which, with my reply and enclosures, I forward herewith. A reference to my despatch No. 4287 will show how extremely improbable it is that the Viceroy could have misunderstood my statement about the Customs.

On Wednesday, the 12th inst, the Elders of the J'ai for hui district came to see me for the last time.
