GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 30th. July, 1917.

In continuation of my Confidential Despatch

of the 12th of May, 1916, I have the honour to transmit

the enclosed return of seizures of raw opium from the 15th

of April, 1916, to date.

The total quantity seized in the period is

101,148 taels or 8429 lbs.

It is satisfactory to note that the

smuggling on a large scale from England in the steamers

of the Ocean Steamship Company appears to have ceased.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servat,
