the facts of the case.
6. If, however, for the sake of British
interests outside Hong long, it should be necessary
to continue to recognize a Chinese Superintendent of
the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hong Long, then all
possible safeguards must be set up against the abuse
of this very unusual privilege by the Superintendent
appointed. I regard his presence here as only one
degroe loss dangerous than would be the presence of
a Chinese Consul, to which, as you know from other
correspondence on the subject, this Government has
always refused its consent.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient servant,
(sd.) C. Clementi.
Governor, &c.
