his escape to Penang
is
an undoubted
fact. He was met there
in February by
Yong
Kwok,
# the late of
funs, a kinsman of the family, who detained him in the I-fong establishment in the Sa-me Street, and who at once
567
was pleased to communicate with the proper
Authorities
on the
subject,
and
may
despatch Officers to proceed thither to
effect the arrest and rendition of the
criminal. Unless this is done, it is
feared that he be detained there
for a
length of time. There is
informing
him
of
the fact
and
sent a
telegram to the petitioner
on the
subject,
desiring him to request the proper
Authorities to take steps for the arrest
and rendition
of the criminal. As to Penang, it is the place commonly
known
as Betel-nut Island and is some
distance from Hongkong. It is British territory and British
officials
reside there. Petitioner would earnestly
request that His Excellency may be pleased
to take steps that he
may not escape from
the meshes
of the law. The pent-up wrongs of three generations will thus remain unredressed. All that the petitioner can do is to request His Excellency to be good enough to write and ask the British Consul to communicate with the Penang officials
and to
despatch Officers to proceed to Penang
and arrest
Yong A-tip-sz.
