difficulties attending the extradition of criminals
from Macao may prove a stumbling-block to the effective working of the scheme for the suppression of
piracy which has now at length been inaugurated.
You will observe that Sir J. Jordan considers
that the Chinese Authorities have grounds for their
complaints against the Portuguese Authorities at
Macao in this respect and I shall be glad if you
will take an opportunity to approach the Portuguese
Government informally with a view to inducing them to
instruct the Authorities of Macao to co-operate in a
more cordial spirit with the Canton Government in the
matter of extradition and in the suppression of
smuggling.
I am, with great truth and regard,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
(Sgd) Grey.
