my feeling is that it will be entirely

I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to
transmit to you herewith, for the consideration of the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking relative
to the registration of steam launches belonging to
Companies registered at Hongkong but of which the
shareholders, in capital and membership, are mainly Chinese.
Mr. Secretary Lyttelton will observe that a case
has arisen in which a Company registered in Hongkong,
composed of Chinese subjects, has claimed recognition
as a British Company by His Majesty's Consul at Swatow.
Mr. Willis has refused to register the Company as
British or to afford them protection in China unless
he is satisfied that the majority of the shareholders
and Managing Directors are British subjects and the
greater part of the capital subscribed is also British.
Mr.
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
