particulars regarding an application for a permit to carry on an agency on behalf of Messrs. Joseph Wild and Company of New York, and also to do independent business, by Mr. J. Manners, who was

Mr. Manners, who is an Englishman by birth, desired to carry on the Hongkong Agency of Messrs. Joseph Wild and Company of New York, whose Agents were formerly Messrs.
