In continuation of my despatch No.
282 of the 12th
instant I have the honour to transmit to you copy of a
Note from the Wal Wu Pu in which they requested that one
of Sun Yat Sen's confederates, Têng Tzu-yɑ by name.
was stated to be in Hongkong planning revolutionary
schemes,
who +
should be arrested by the Colonial Government
and handed over to the Chinese authorities on the
mainland.
As the Board's communication was based upon a
telegram from the Viceroy at Canton which merely asked
that the man should be deported from the Colony,
I
ignored their request for extradition and telegraphed
to the Officer Administering the Government of the
Colony in the sense of the Viceroy's suggestion.
The purport of the Acting Governor's reply,
which
stated
The Right Honourable
Sir Edward Grey Bart., M.P.,
etc. etc. etc.
