St. Au Sausmartz

Sir:-

With reference to my letter of the 19th. ultimo,

respecting the powers of His Majesty's Supreme Court at

Shanghai to order deportation from China and Cores, I

am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you,

herewith for the information of the Earl of Crewe,copy

of a despatch on the subject from the Judge of the Su-

preme Court.

It will be observed that the Hongkong authorities

do not, appear to share the doubt which had presented

itself to Sir E. Grey, as stated in my letter above re-

ferred to, as to whether the Foreign Jurisdiction Act

1890 enables such an Order in Council as Sir Havilland

Fore

de Sausmarez desires, to be passed, and that they ap-

pear to consider that no legislation will be necessary

in Hongkong.

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

Sir
