for perceiving the weak spots of our system and is not slow
to avail himself of it.
6.
I may refer, though it is a side issue, to
an inevitable consequence of the present state of affairs. The
Code of Civil Procedure allows not only imprisonment by way of
execution of judgment, but also imprisonment on "meme process"
that is, at the very commencement of the proceedings, where
absconding or removal of property is suspected. I have done my
best to minimize the cases in which I make the necessary orders
in this behalf; but I have at last reluctantly come to see the
force of the arguments of the legal profession, and have
realized the necessity of enforcing the letter of the law with
the utmost strictness,
7.
The question is, I can assure Your Excel-
-lency, a most urgent one, and I trust that it will receive
sympathetic consideration at Your Excellency's hands. I would
venture to suggest that much valuable information could be
obtained from the Chamber of Commerce and the Law Society of
Hongkong.

I take this opportunity of referring again
to the question of Canton. I have devoted a great deal of time
to making the necessity for action plain. At first difficulties
were suggested by the Minister at Pekin, and the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs did not think it advisable to proceed
further, except possibly in the matter of Bankruptcy. After the
despatch was communicated to me I had an opportunity of dis-
-cussing the matter with Sir Havilland de Saumarez, Judge of
the Supreme Court at Shanghai, and made certain proposals to
him. He in his turn discussed them with Mr. Hansfield, Consul-
-General at Canton. The result was that we saw our way to
introduce certain reforms in the procedure with regard to a
certain class of judgments (those given in actions in which the defendant had appeared) which would have been a great boon to the commercial community of the Colony. Beyond a comunica-
