We have the honour to address you on behalf of Chan Tik, a man at present detained in Victoria Gaol under a warrant signed by James A. Fur Mitchell, Acting Magistrate under Ordinances 3 of 1880 and 2 of 1891.
These Ordinances, intended to enable the Hong Kong Government to give effect to the 21st section of the Treaty of Tientsin, provide, as doubtless His Excellency the Administrator is aware, that if any subject of China shall be charged before a Magistrate.
