No. 118.
Government House,
Hongkong, 23 May 1899.
172
With reference to your despatch No.338 of the 31st December last, I have the honour to forward copies (Enclosures 1 to 3) of the Statutory Declarations referred to in paragraph 3 of W.Quincey's petition to you of the 5th November last.
I also enclose for your information copy of a memorandum by the Captain Superintendent of Police and its annexures, dated 4 May 1899. (Enclosures)
As I consider it desirable that you should be placed in possession of the further evidence of corruption therein produced.
This additional evidence has not been furnished to Messrs.Quincey and Stanton as I am doubtful whether it is your wish that the matter should proceed further.
I shall, therefore, await your instructions before taking any steps in that direction.
The Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN M.P., &c. &c. &c.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Humble Servant,
Henry Arthur Blake
GOVERNOR &c.
