Enclosure

1 in No.7 in Cd.

1628/76.

"of the Foreign Customs, urged by Sir A. Kennedy in his

"despatch of 25th August, 1874, as a less distasteful

"alternative. But the latter scheme, though still worthy

"of consideration, could hardly be carried out without

*much preliminary discussion and unavoidable delays".

On the 8th. October, 1875, Sir B. Robertson,

H. B. M. Consul, Cantor, put forward yet another proposal in a despate to the Foreign Office. He wrote:- "It was at

"one time proposed to levy China Import and Export Duties

*in the Colony, but difficulties of a legal character

"intervened and the plan was laid aside. The appointment

"of a Chinese Consular Officer was then suggested to Bcollect from Junk Masters receipts for export duties for

"goods imported into the Colony from China, and issue to

"them similar receipts for the import duties of goods

*shipped to China from Hongkong, but the objection to this "scheme was the danger of placing the native trade of the

*port so much under the control of a Chinese Officer for

"very obvious reasons. But it appears to be, if, instead

"of Chinese, an English Officer from the Canton Foreign

"Inspectorate with Consular rank was appointed, the "difficulty would be removed, and, being an acredited of-

"-ficer of the Chinese Government, the Hongkong Government

might discuss with him cases of seizure or injustice,

*and thus obviate reference of such matters to a Mixed

"Court whether such he held in Chinese Kowloon or Hongkong,

to which I see almost insuperable difficulties".

No. 8 in

.60 CL C

ca. 1628/76.

The Colonial Office replying to the Foreign

Office on the 27th. January, 1876, stated that they would

propose Sir B. Robertson's suggestion for the considera-

which -tion of the Hongkong Government "as an alternative suck

*would be comparatively free from the objections urged

*against the appointment of a Chinese Consul in the Colony"
