added that if the Colony did not object to the concession,

would

its interests wili be best served by making it as com-

-prehensive as possible. He indicated that the more duties

on Opium the Chinese Customs were allowed to collect in

Hongkong the less excuse for interference with the junk

that trade would be. These recommendations were made in letters

dated the 10th. April, 1871, and 22nd. June, 1871,

respectively. (Nos. 77 and 82 in the printed Opium Cor-

Major-General Whitfield circulaved this proposal for the

"unheard of abandonment of British prestige, right, and

"interest as is implied by conceding to the Chinese a

"Customs Station of their own in a British Colony". (No. 99 of the Printed Opium Correspondence). However, in

a despatch dated the 25th. August, 1874, Sir A. Kennedy wrote to the Earl of Carnarvon taking a diametrically
