re Sung Man Cho

With further reference to your letter of the 13th

inst., we feel you must be under some misapprehension as to

the terms of the arrangement come to between Counsel when

the Appeal was before the Privy Council.

In our view the terms of the Settlement do not

commit the Government of Hong Kong to procure admission of

Sung Man Cho into any particular Country but they are only to

use their best endeavours to assist Sung Man Cho to go to

any Country that he may select; there is no compulsion

placed on the Government of Hong Kong by the terms of the

Settlement which compel the Government to send him to any

Country where objection may be taken to his landing, the

only obligation of the Government of Hong Kong being not to

send Sung Man Cho into any Country where he would be in danger

of arrest by the French.

Yours faithfully,

Messrs. Light & Fulton,
