THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MAY, 1878.
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 13th September, 1878.
MY LORD,Soon after I had the honour of receiving your Lordship's Despatch No. 81, of the 5th of July, an enquiry was made as to whether the Government would consent to the Emigration from Hongkong of Chinese Labourers to the South American Republics and especially Peru.
I caused a reply to be written to the effect that I was not disposed to encourage the Emigration of Chinese to Peru.
I have, &c.,
(Signed,)
J. POPE HENNESSY.

SIR, With reference to your Despatch No. 111 of the 13th of September, I have to refer you to the 6th, 7th and 8th paragraphs of my Despatch No. 109. of the 4th of December, 1875, in which I laid down the general principles to be followed by the Government of Hongkong as regards Chinese Emigration.
I approve of your refusal to sanction Emigration to Peru.

ING STREET, 24th December, 1877.
SIR,--On the 12th instant, I received from you the following message:-"Twelfth, Mr. GEARY, "Emigration Agent and Consul for Peru, applies for licence to ship Chinese, shall I grant it?" And on the 14th instant, I returned the following reply:-"Fourteenth December, grant no licence for any "Emigration to Peru, see my Despatch of fifth July."
I continue to be strongly of opinion that the Government of Hongkong should in no way facilitate an emigration which is liable to the very grave objections noticed in the correspondence of which my Despatch above referred to forms part.
Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G.,
