With reference to your letter 16029/1900 of the

6th instant, relative to the maintenance of the

lunatic Edward Wallace, I am directed by the Marquess

of Salisbury to transmit to you, for the information

of Mr. Secretary Chamberlain, a copy of the despatch

which was addressed to Mr. Warren, the Acting Consul

General at Shanghai,on receipt of the letter from the Treasury, of which a copy was sent to you on the

22nd May last.

With regard to the fourth paragraph of your

letter I am to state that Lord Salisbury concurs

with Mr. Chamberlain in the view that a Colony

should not be held liable to maintain as a lunatic

any person not actually domiciled there, merely be-

cause that person had been born in the Colony.

At

the

e Inder Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
