Sir,
Having received notice from the Crown Agents that a telegram had been received from Hong-Kong reporting that I was implicated in the recent Police Scandal, I trust you will kindly allow me a few words in explanation of my case.
I beg respectfully, Sir, to state that if my name appeared in that book seized, as being in receipt of any money from gambling houses, I am quite innocent of any such thing and cannot account for it being there unless Ex P. S. Tang Chung & Ex P. C. Yeung Fat had been receiving money from those houses in my name. I may mention, Sir, that those 2 men were reported to me by one of my superior officers as receiving the money in my name sometime before I left on leave, and it is very evident they have continued doing so for a considerable time. I am probably to blame in not reporting to you, Sir, at the time what this officer told me,
The Hon'ble F. H. May, C. M. G.
Captain Supt. of Police.
