MARINE DEPARTMENT,

7, WHITEHALL GARDENS,

LONDON, S.W.

By post

Pressing

27th October, 1904.

I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge

the receipt of your letter of the 25th instant, forwarding a

copy of a telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong with regard to

the refusal of the Steamship "Bawtry" to proceed to Vladivostock

with a cargo of coal.

In reply, I am to state, for the information of Mr

Secretary Lyttelton that the Board have not asked the Law

Officers of the Crown to express an opinion on the legal points

raised in the case of the S.S. "Inkum", but I am to forward

herewith copies of correspondence with the Foreign Office as

marked in the margin from which it will be seen that when Sir

C. Macdonald asked for advice on similar cases arising in the

Far East, the Board suggested, for the consideration of the

Marquess of Lansdowne, that a case should be submitted for

the opinion of the Law Officers.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
