Hongkong, 20th January, 1904.

I am directed to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a letter from the Police Magistrate regarding the recent frequency of cases of deportation to Hongkong under the Order of His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Corea, and to inform you that His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government concurs with the Magistrate that there is strong objection to the deportation of undesirable persons to Hongkong from the Treaty Ports of China.

In these circumstances, I am to request that you will be good enough to bring the matter to the notice of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of China and Corea with a suggestion that the Court should act under Clause 107 of the Order in Council in the first instance.

Although the expense of deporting a person from here under the Order in Council would be charged to Imperial Funds, much inconvenience and trouble would be saved by the adoption of the course suggested.

I shall forward to you in due course an account of the expenses incurred by this Government in connection with the deportee Jules Marie Sandrais, with a request that they may be defrayed from Foreign Office Funds.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) A. W. Thomson,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General,

Shanghai.
