ediate.
Sir:-
With reference to your letter of the 23rd. instant Gov. (36581) respecting the case of one Adsetts a United
States citizen, accused of the murder of a woman in
Hongkong, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
transmit to you, to be laid before the Earl of Elgin,
copies of a telegram addressed to His Majesty's Consul-
General at Manila and of his reply, from which it ap-
pears that Adsetts arrived at that port on September
15th. on an American ship of war, and was sent thence
to Hongkong on September 21st.
I am to observe that some trouble and expense in
the matter would have been obviated had the Governor
of Hongkong telegraphed that the man had been surrender-
ed on September 21st.
The cost of the telegrams to and from Manila will
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
