14 March, 1899.
I have the honour to enclose a report from Dr. Milles,
Acting Surgeon to H. M. Gaol here, in regard to the condition
of Charles Bithrey a prisoner under sentence of two years' imprisonment from 16th. September last.
As there is no Lunatic Asylum here and no means of
caring for an insane person in the Gaol, I propose to remove
this prisoner to Hong Kong under section 79 of the Order in Council, or 9th. March 1865, but before doing so I think that I should
communicate the facts of the case to you for the information of
His Excellency the Governor."
Honourable,
J.H.Stewart Lockhart. C.M.G.
Colonial Secretary.
Hong Kong.
I have &c.
(Signed) Nicholls J. Hannen,
Chief Justice.
