Sir:-

In accordance with the instructions contained in your

despatch No 34, of the 24th ultimo, calling for a report

on the methods adopted by this office in the matter of

registering British subjects of Chinese descent in possess-

ion of certificates issued by the Government of Hongkong,

I have the honour to submit the following observations.

Being well aware of the ease with which fraudulent birth

certificates can be procured with the assistance of sub-

ordinate employes in the Registrar General's department,

through Chinese clerks in lawyers' offices in Hongkong, I

on my arrival here issued orders that every precaution

should be taken in examining the papers produced by appli-

cants for registration, and that the procedure laid down in

Sir Ernest Satow's circular of August 22nd, 1904, be strict-

ly adhered to. As the production of a certificate of pre-

vious registration is generally accepted as prima facie

proof

John Jordan, G.0.1.E., K.C.B., K.C.M.G..

&C.

His Majesty's Minister,

PEKING.
