W.104.
Sir,
Magistracy, Hongkong, 28th September 1887
In reference to the case of Le Loi alias Chau Dik Cheung, I desire to state that the discrepancy between the date of the burglary given in the charge and depositions viz.: 7th November 1886, and that entered in the committal warrant and letter W.90 of 29th August 1887 viz.: 17th November 1886, appears to have been the result of a clerical error in the Magistrate's Office. I regret that it escaped my notice at the time.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,
(Signed) M.G. Mitchell-Irnes, Acting Police Magistrate
To: H. Stewart, LL.D., Acting Colonial Secretary
