18th. December (C.S.O.9895/1903) one Joseph Benna was deported here from Shanghai and discharged on his going to Singapore. Under paragraph 107 of the same Order in Council, there was power to deport the lady to England and, with his consent, the man to Singapore, in the first instance.

Is it not time to invite the attention of His Excellency Sir Ernest Satow to these cases and to protest against this Colony being made the destination of persons who are undesirable characters?
Why should Hongkong and not England be selected as the place of deposit of such people?
Why does not the Supreme Court of China and Corea always exercise its powers under paragraph 107 of the Order in Council and enquire whether parties consent to be deported elsewhere than to Hongkong or England?
9.
There is no reason why this Colony should have to face the alternative of the expense of causing the deportee to be taken to England or of discharging such evil persons in her midst (c.f. para:112.).
10.
If the Supreme Court of China and Corea has no funds for deportation purposes, the remedy is to obtain fund or to cease to deport to Hongkong persons who are not of Hongkong origin.
11.
It may be pointed out that only a person who fails to give security for his future good behaviour may be deported (para: 106 of the Order in Council), and that a person convicted at Hankow and imprisoned at Shanghai is hardly likely to be in a position to give such security. In the majority of such cases therefore it is only necessary to make an Order to give security to ensure deportation and the removal of bad characters from Treaty Ports and out of Consular jurisdiction.
