Sir:-

With reference to the letter from this Office

of the 9th ultimo I am directed by the Marquess of

Lansdowne to transmit to you, to be laid before the

Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of a des-

patch which has been received from His Majesty's

Chief Justice at Shanghai enclosing a correspondence

between himself and His Majesty's Consul at Amoy

respecting the deportation of Miss Garrett from Amoy

to HongKong.

I am to say that in view of the circumstances

stated in the 2nd paragraph of the letter from His

Majesty's Consul to the Chief Justice of the 2nd of

February, Lord Lansdowne feels himself unable to ad-

mit any liability in respect of Miss Garrett's de-

portation.

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am, Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Charles Hendinge.
