1. The journalist interested in the Osman case has written
again to Sir J Coles. He states that copies of classified
documents related to the case have been passed to an Irish
newspaper, and he alleges that the prosecution of the case in
Hong Kong has been corrupt. In previous correspondence,
Sir J Coles has advised Mr Cahill to consider his position
before making any improper use of classified telegrams which
have come into his possession.
2. The letter does not require any reply, and I recommend that none be given. HKD, Legal Advisers and the Home Office
concur.
