Sir,
COPY.
1C FEB
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Hong Kong, 15th December, 1898.
I am directed to transmit to you copy of a letter
from the Captain Superintendent of Police and of its enclosures
and to request you to bring the case of piracy therein referred
to, to the notice of the Viceroy with a view to the perpetrators
being arrested and punished.
The frequency of these outrages appears to merit
the serious attention of the Provincial Government and I shall
be glad if you will make a strong representation to the Viceroy
in bringing the case to his notice, and urge upon His Excellency
the importance of stringent measures being taken.
Her Britannic Majesty's Consul,
CANTON.
I have &c.
Colonial Secretary.
