With reference to his letter on the subject,

one word of explanation is necessary. I had a private letter

from him in the same sense as his official letter, as we were

China are legally amenable to the Hongkong Court. It can never

have been intended that Canton, for example, should be a haven

of refuge for defendants to evade service of writs; but that

is what the Consul-General's contention amounts to. Process
