I do not remember having ever been in treaty

with your Government re the said destitute Bylander, neither did

I know that the man was sent home by the local authorities, and

as it is a General International Rule, which is also applied to

the United Kingdom, that it is the Authorities of the Countries

itself who have to grant the necessary medical attendance and

relief to foreigners who have fallen into distress while living

within its territory, I am sorry I cannot comply with your

request to a refund the outlays, but have laid the case before

the Consul General for Sweden at Shanghai, and shall let you

know his reply as soon as I receive it.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) Swart,

Vice-Consul for Sweden,

je Honourable

The Colonial Secretary.
