lodged, also a sort of coolie agent through whom disputes about wages could be settled.

My correspondent further asks whether it would be feasible for your Government to assign to his Mission a plot of land at Sham Chun for the purpose of erecting a Mission Station.

I beg to explicitly mention that it is merely in compliance with the said Missionary's request that I venture to bring the above statements, proposals and wishes to your notice, and that as far as the protection of the Missionaries and their followers is concerned, it belongs to my province as Acting Imperial Consul at Canton to take the necessary steps, addressing myself to the Viceroy in Canton,

which, in fact, has been done already.

Having been informed that His Excellency the Governor of this Colony has directed H.B.M. Majesty's Consul at Canton to cause the Canton Viceroy to secure the protection also of the German Mission stations in the threatened district, I beg, in conclusion, that you will convey my respectful and sincere thanks to His Excellency for his kind consideration.

Awaiting your reply that would enable me to answer my correspondent's application.

I have etc,
