Cosure

from the Chief Justice to whom I sent a copy of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist's letter to Your Lordship because I understood from him that he took a personal interest in this question.

If the procedure in the Macao Courts could be simplified so as to eliminate a reference to the distant Court at Goa as described in Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist's letter, the improvement would be of obvious advantage to creditors in this Colony. Further than making that suggestion I am, as at present advised, not prepared to go; and I desire here to correct the statement made by Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist that a judgment of the Court of Macao would, in circumstances similar to the case they mention, be enforced by the Court in Hongkong without further investigation.

I enclose a memorandum of the requirements that would have to be complied with before a judgment of the Court of Macao could be enforced here; and of the pleas that could be entered by the defendant against the Hongkong writ issued on the judgment of the Macao Court.
