In reference to the
inclosed memo of Mr Creagh on the Police stables I approved the suggestion of getting off the old and worthless horses replacing them with handy Chinese

in which one orderly might sleep at
Stanley and Aberdeen

a very
bad and notorious murder
viz.: that of Yungary at Kowloon there seems to be a failure of justice by reason of the rejecting of evidence through some supposed omission by the Police of

prisoners when making a confession.
