it is time that some investigation of the whole position in

Hongkong should be made, with a view to ascertaining the actual

cause of what we maintain has been more or less obvious prejudice.

enclosed copy correspondence the reasons which have compelled

us to come to the only conclusion that it has been little short

the local Authorities. In the original stages, the objection

price. These two points alone have been very pronounced,
