His Britannic Majesty's Consulate-General: 19 JUL 1907

Shanghai, June 3rd., 1904.

Page 1


In conjunction with the Chief Justice of His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan, I have carefully considered your letter No. 393/1904 - C.S.O. of January last, with regard to the deportation of British subjects to Hongkong from China Ports.

I have the honour to state in reply to your protest against such deportation, that the powers of deportation to Hongkong accorded by the China and Japan Order in Council of 1865 are only used by this office with great discrimination, and the cases of such deportation are extremely rare.

At the same time I would point out that the objections of the Hongkong Government to the working of the Order in Council are in effect objections to the provisions of the Order in Council itself, and I would suggest that such objections would be more properly addressed to the Foreign Office through the medium of the Colonial Office.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) Pelham Warren,

Consul-General.

The Honourable

A. M. Thomson,

Colonial Secretary,

Hongkong.
