Government House, 28 JAN 04!

Hongkong, 22nd December, 1903.

Sir,

Yo 41065/03

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 409 of the 13th ultimo, forwarding copies of correspondence with the Foreign Office on the subject of the deportation from Amoy to Hongkong of Miss Florence Garrett.

2.

I learn with some surprise that the grounds upon which Miss Garrett was deported were that she was of very doubtful sanity, and I regret that you should have been put to the trouble of considerable correspondence on the assumption that she was of unsound mind. The Warrant of the Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for China and Corea under which she was deported set out that the grounds of her deportation were that she did take poison with intent to kill herself, that she had been called on to give security to keep the peace towards one William Wilson, and that failing such security she should be deported to Hongkong. I enclose a copy of the Warrant for your information. The facts of the case are these. Miss Garrett arrived in Hongkong with her son aged about three, and applied to this Government for assistance to proceed to Amoy in order to claim the protection and support of a Mr. August,...

HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
