Sir,

Peking,

September 7, 1910.

618

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's despatch of the 18th of August forwarding copies of two despatches addressed by you to His Majesty's Consul General at Canton reporting further instances of illegal seizures of opium covered by transit passes on the alleged ground of non-payment of the new tax. I made fresh verbal representations on the subject on the 2nd instant at the Wai Wu Pu and I now beg to enclose, for your information and for that of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce,

a copy

of the memorandum which I addressed yesterday to the Wai Wu Pu re- capitulating the various instances of illegal seizure that have been brought to my notice and requesting that orders may be given for the release of the opium seized.

I have etc,

#

(ad) W.G.Max Müller.

His Excellency Sir F.H.May, K.C.M.G.,
