Of what else could one expect it to be\n\ncomposed was the retort, seeing that, as she has undertaken to do,\n\nChina is using all means in her power to get rid of native opium?\n\n(His Excellency thus unconsciously came very near to the supposi-\n\ntions case I put to the representative of Messrs.Sassoons, who\n\ncame to Canton to discuss the matter with me, when I asked: could\n\nGreat Britain refuse to entertain a request on the part of China\n\nto reconsider the ten years agreement after every stalk of\n\npoppy had been eradicted from Chinese soil) I then hinted that\n\nthe levy was not xxx so much a restrictive measure as a financial\n\nmakeshift, and suggested that, an abolition of the levy, even if\n\nthe rules laid down continued to be enforced, would go a long\n\nway towards proving bona fides. This aspect of the situation was\n\na new one to His Excellency, and his only answer was that there\n\nwere difficulties in the way.\n\nIt came out in the course of the interview that His\n\nExcellency was totally unaware of the existence of Turkish and Persian Opium, the supplies of which have doubtless swelled the import returns, and the point arises, how can China limit the importation of these two forms of opium, (v.China No.1. 1908 No.29, 3rd paragraph) if in the hands of subjects of the Treaty Powers, seeing that the Treaties do not deal with the nationality of goods, but only with that of the holder thereof?\n\nI have etc,\n\n(ad) J.W.Jamieson.\n\nConsul General.\n\nJe t\n\n.0.V.X.pad rallin zail.0.\n\n、serietta'b égnado al pinote\n\n.D HI # 11\n\n1",

In De Keyser's Case Lord Dunedin said, that if the taking in that case had been illegal the petition of right would not have lain. Here, the plaintiffs allege a wrongful taking. In spite of this it may be that the consent might properly be given, because there is a substantiel question to be decided, i.e., the validity of two Ordinences, and the natural parties in such an issue are the plaintiffs and the Crown. Further, any refusel of consent would probably result in an action for damages against some officer of the Government, and the Government would have to defend that action.\n\n4. There are of course several possible defences to the petition. In the first place, it is arguable that the non-disallowance of the Ordinances by His Majesty The King cures any invalidity; see on this point Re Ju Ki Shing (1908) 3 Hongkong Law Reports 20. Again it can be argued that the Ordinance is not made invalid by failure on the part of the Governor to observe his instructions, provided that the Ordinance falls within the powers conferred by Article II of \n\nthe Letters Patent of the 19th January, 1888. The present Letters Patent and Royal Instructions were issued after the passing of the two Ordinances now attacked.\n\n5. It is also arguable that neither Ordinance is inconsistent with the Convention. It may be said that the particular provision objected to in the New Territories Ordinance, 1910, was enacted merely for convenience in the settlement of titles, that resumption with compensation is not expropriation, that the land has been taken for an \"official purpose\", and that it has in effect been bought at \n\na fair price determined by arbitration. It is also a question whether the plaintiffs can bring themselves within the term \"inhabitants\".\n\n6.",
