GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
17th. November 1904.
Sir:-
In continuation of Mr. May's Confidential Despatch
of the 3th. July last and with reference to previous
correspondence on the subject of the murder of Yeung
Kui Wan at Hongkong on the 10th. January, 1901, I have
the honour to forward for Your Excellency's information
a copy of a Despatch which I have this day addressed to
the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
2. In accordance with the 7th. paragraph of that
Despatch I suggest that the facts of this important
murder case in which the murderers according to the
evidence produced at the trial here of one of them,
were protected by Officials of the Provincial Govern-
ment at Canton and rewarded by the authority of the
then Acting Viceroy of the Two Kwangs himself, should,
at such opportunity as may appear suitable, be brought
to the notice of the Central Government of China with a
view to that Government discouraging by such means as
may
