Bis Majesty's Consurate-General,
Canton, 3rd. November, 1905.
Sir.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of
your letter No. 214 of the 21st, ultimo, requesting me to make
representations to the Viceroy for the release of the coal mort-
-gaged by Fung Ha Chun to the National Bank of China.
I regret that there is no prospect of the
hope contained in the last paragraph of your letter being realised.
On the contrary, the Viceroy now requests me to apply to his Ex-
cellency the Governor, as you will see from the enclosed letter
and transistion, to have fung Wa Chun sent to Canton, to undergo
trial for his whole connection with Chau Tung Shang's business
#ung merely being his agent and nominee. The Chinese Authorities
allege that Fung Wa Chun was instrumental in assisting Chau Tune
Shang to escape.
The Honourable
The Colonial Secretary,
Hongkong.
I have etc.,
(Sd.) James Scott,
Consul-General.
