I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to ac-

Voo knowledge the receipt of your letter 37188/1907 of the

25th. ultimo "with regard to the possibility of making

arrangements with the Portuguese Government for the re-

ciprocal enforcement of judgments of the Courts in Hong

Kong and Macao", and enclosing a copy of a letter from

the Chief Justice of Hong Kong to the Governor of that

Colony with suggestions on the subject.

Sir Edward Grey gathers however from the Gover-

nor's despatch that the only specific point presented

the

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
