In reply to your despatch No 28 of September 24th. I

have the honour to report as follows:

The only Hongkong born British Chinese subject register-

ed at this Consulate is one Chu Lim Toh, who appears to have

held a certificate of British nationality issued by His

Majesty's Legation at Eangkok.

Most of the British Chinese at this port have been re-

gistered for many years and it is difficult to ascertain what

evidence of British nationality they produced. Those regist-

ered for the first time during the past few years have held

the certificates referred to in Sir E. Satow's circular,

My practice is to register only those who produce clear

proof of British nationality, and I have had no occasion to

make the distinction referred to in the last paragraph of

your despatch.

I take the opportunity to again call attention to the

necessity

J.N. Jordan G.C.I.E., K.C.B., K.C.".G.,

&c. .

His Majesty's Minister,
