Petition from Ng Tung.

783
Hongkong, 17th. July, 1889.
A petition from Ng Tung living in No.12 Sham Sui Po
praying for the deliverance of certain persons from the
custody of the Chinese Mandarins.
?
Petitioner begs to state that Ng Lam-ohải alias Ng¬
i and Tsang Shii alias Tsang Luk...and others have been
law-abiding persons. Unfortunately on the 12th. of this!
moon (9th. July,1889) an officer from the Kowloon Poli-
ce Station ordered 30 soldiers, 3 of whom were not re-
gulars, to enter petitioner's shop. These men game over
the boundary fully armed and assaulted and seized fang-
cent persons.
Considering that the English Authorifica were not`
communicated with before despatching soldiers to make
arrest, which was therefore treating the British Flag
with contempt as well as being entirely' illegal, Peti-
tioner is constrained to bring this case before Your Ho-
nour with a request that you will be pleased to have the
wrong redressed, and to have the sufferers Ny i and Tsang
Luk relieved from the daily torture which they are under
going at the Lands of the Chinese Mandarins.
Petitioner humbly begs tuat Your Honour will be
good enough to communicate with the Shinese Authorities
for their rendition to Hongkong for trial, a favour
which Petitioner will ever remember.
