CO129-498-18 Activities of Haji Muhammad Hasan Namazi- connection with the opium traffic 5-5-1926 - 24-12-1926 — Page 20

The Section of the Hong Kong opium Ordinance

referred to in paragraph 4 of my draft despatch provides

that

"Except under and in accordance with a licence

granted by the Governor, no person or firm shall, whether

in his or its own behalf or on behalf of any other person or firm, buy or sell, or supply or procure, or offer to supply or procure, or otherwise deal in or offer to deal

in, any raw opium, whether such raw opium be in the

Colony or elsewhere, and whether it be ascertained or

appropriated or in existence or not....

I presume that your Department will not want

another copy of the Governor's despatch of 27th October 1926, to be sent to you officially.

Yours sincerely.
