MY DEAR LOCKHART,
POLICE OFFICE, 1st July, 1892. .
With reference to your enquiry as to what member of the Police Force stated to His Excellency that the Pó Léung Kuk runners were in the habit of "squeezing," I do not know who made such a statement to His Excellency."
Yours sincerely,

SIR,
We have the honour to have received your invitation requesting certain Members of the Committee of last year to attend a Meeting of the Pó Leung Kuk inquiry Committee, and have considered it at a meeting of the members of last year's Committee. The members of that Committee are unable to see what useful purpose can be served by their attendance, seeing that their Chairman, who represents their views, has already appeared before the Committee, and answered all questions put to him, and that the Committee have sent in a memorandum which sets forth in detail all they have to say on the subject of the society. If there be any points in that memorandum which are not clear, they may be informed of them, so that they may consider them, and answer them to the best of their ability.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servants,
try to
The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,
Chairman, Pó Léung Kuk,
Inquiry Committee,
王星東
