THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH SEPTEMBER, 1867.
337
These Coolies were originally shipped from Hongkong on the Dutch barque Antonio Petronella, which was forced to put into Manila in distress, and was there I believe condemned. It is unnecessary for me, Sir, to tell you that the importation of these Men into this Kingdom, is illegal without the consent of His Majesty's Government, contrary to the laws, and in defiance of the Ordinances published in the Official columns of the Hawaiian Gazette, copies of which were I believe repu- blished by you in the Hongkong papers.
His Majesty's Government have permitted these Men to be landed, on the score of humanity, under stringent regulations. Mr. VARIGNY will no doubt communicate more fully with you on this matter. In the meantime I have to request on the part of this Government, that you will interpose and desire the authorities at Hongkong, not to permit any Vessel to clear with bonded laborers on board, for any of the Ports of this Kingdom, without your formal permission, should a similar attempt to the one now complained of, be again made.—I have the honor to remain, Sir, very respectfully yours,
The Minister of the Interior, (Signed,) FERDь. W. HUTCHISON,
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs.
To
JAMES WHITTALL, Esquire,
His Hawaiian Majesty's Consul General,
Hongkong and Macao,
sc., &e., &c.
(True Copy),
J. WHITTALL.
