istrati In regard to our recent consultation on the subject of the registration in Hong Kong of Companies carrying on business in China, when we discussed the memoranda of Sir Havilland de Sausmarez and those of myself and other members of the Hong Kong Bar I adhere to the opinion which I expressed there that the Hong Kong Court is the proper Court to make winding up orders having regard to the fact that the Companies in question are registered in Hong Kong.

I am however most desirous of meeting, as far as possible, the views of Sir Havilland de Sausmarez and this could presumably be effected by giving the Supreme Courts both of China and Hong Kong coordinate powers in so far as winding up orders are concerned.

I agree with you in thinking that like powers to those given to the New Zealand Courts in the case of winding up of Foreign Companies (i.e., Companies incorporated outside N. Zealand) under the New Zealand Act 1908 (No. 26 of 1908) Sec. 310 et seq., might be conferred by Order in Council on His Majesty's Supreme Court in China in the case of Companies registered in Hong Kong that carry on business wholly or mainly in Shanghai or in any of the Treaty Ports.

I am, Sir,
Yours obedient servant,
