I have had further conversations with the Home Office and Mr. Hay, Mr. Hallifax being unfortunately in bed with influenza.
It appears that the two invalid Chinese cannot be admitted to this country without violating certain fundamental statutes of which contain mandatory provisions against the admission of aliens (these Chinese have got Chinese passports and are therefore aliens) so that there is no help for it but to wait until they are cured. Mr. Hay is arranging for their treatment in France and it is hoped that they will get well soon so as to be admitted shortly. They have got medical certificates & will try again.
The silverware is a big difficulty. Mr. Hay told me this morning that it has been assayed at 900 and is therefore not allowed to be sold as "silver".
I attach a draft to the Board of Trade asking what their opinion is. In the meantime

It appears that the two invalid Chinese
