:
to a
despatch of Sir G. Bowen No940
of 22nd May, 1885, reporting
a
complaint made to him that a
wanted
Chinese whose arrest was wan
- by the Chinese Government had
been enticed on board a
board a private
steam launch at Hongkong and - taken out of the waters of the - Colony when he was
forcibly
conveyed to Canton, where he was
८
thrown into prison. There is little
doubt that the complaint
was
true
but it was considered that there was not sufficient evidence to
:
press a formal request that he might be given up.
