King's Regulations, International Regulations, Rules, Orders, and Rules of Court. Issued under the China Orders in Council During the Years 1920 to 1923. First edition. Alongside notices amending and repealing existing directions, the volume includes the text of four newly propagated and substantial documents concerning the ports of Amoy, Yingkou (Newchwang), Wuhu, and Qingdao, as well as several non-maritime orders.This copy, now deaccessioned, was one of at least two sent to the Foreign Office Library in August 1924 by Judge Skinner Turner (1868-1935), the chief justice of the British Supreme Court for China from 1921 to 1927 (Skinner's bequest is noted on the bookplate). The library's retained copy, held in the FCDO Historical Collection at King's College London, is the only other example we have traced.
