His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General begs to acknow- -ledge the receipt of the Foreign Commissioner's letter of the
22nd. ultimo, regarding the supply of limestone to the Green
Island Cement Company. He notes therefrom that the Tu Tu still
maintains the contention that the action of the Kuangtung Govern- -ment in this matter has not been at variance with Treaty pro-
-visions and that he wishes this point disposed of before he is
willing to discuss in what manner facilities may be afforded to
the Company to obtain stone in future.

authentic document or not?
2. Have the Government, as a consequence of Mr. Jamieson's
Memorandum of Protest, dated May 2nd., ever by Public Proclamation
withdrawn this Notification and, if so, could he be furnished with
a copy of the withdrawal ?
3. Is it denied that the Green Island Company have, with
the full knowledge, consent and approval of the late Imperial
Government for years past, keen entering into contracts for lime- -stone and exporting the same ?
4. Did the late Imperial Government close down any quarry
other than the Fei Shu, whence the Canton Cement Works now ob-
-tain their exclusive supply ?
5. If the answer to the last question is, as it must be,
in the negative, in what respect can action which for years has
been regarded as legal now be pronounced illegal ?
6.
Can the Government deny, in the face of the terms of the
No comments yet.
