My Lord:-

In his despatch No. 54 of the 18th February last Sir Claude MacDonald reported to Your Lordship the strong representations which he had been obliged to make to the Chinese Government owing to the continued increase of piracy in the Chinese waters adjacent to Hong Kong.

A recent instance of piracy, where the victim was the British steam-launch "Wo On" has been brought to my notice by Her Majesty's Consul officiating at Canton. The details of this case are reported in the despatch of which I have the honour to enclose a copy.

Your Lordship will observe that Mr. Mansfield recommended that compensation should be exacted from

The Marquess of Salisbury,

&c.,

K.G.,

&c.
