My Lord:-
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of Your Lordship's despatch No. 195 of August 16th.
enclosing a letter from the Colonial Office relative
to the treatment of Chinese criminals surrendered
from Hongkong to Canton, and instructing me to endea-
vour by effecting a further exchange of Notes with
the Chinese Government or in any other way that might
seem suitable to secure the permanent adoption by the
Chinese Authorities of the present temporary arrange-
ment.
As it appeared of primary importance to
secure in the first place the consent of the Viceroy
of Canton I instructed Mr. James Scott in October last
to endeavour to come to an arrangement with the Vice-
roy on this point and I have now received a despatch
the Marquess of Lansdowne, K.G.,
&C.,
&C., &c.
