Letters of Request were issued by me on

11th. September, 1908, on the application of the plaintiff in

the Action Marican v. Chu Pak Ngok; they were addressed to the

Acting Consul-General of Canton, requesting him to move the

Namhoi Magistrate to cause the notice of writ to be served on

the defendant in Canton.

Mr. Fox in his letter of 16th. September,

1908, regretted that he could not comply for the following

reasons:-

that in his capacity as Judge of the Provincial Court he

could not communicate officially with a Chinese Magistrate,

and that the request could only be made to him in his

consular capacity through the Governor of Hongkong.

that the Supreme Court of Hongkong could not exercise

of

the claim was for a debt made by a British subject in

Hongkong against a Chinese subject in China; and as the

defendant had not absconded from the Colony he ought to be

sued through the Consulate-General before the Namhoi

Magistrate.

If however the defendant were an absconding debtor within Article 23 of the Treaty of Tientsin, the "usual course

should be followed of obtaining a judgment by default in

Hongkong,
