Sir,
1.
Chambers,
Supreme Court, Hongkong,
29th. May, 1911.

In continuat
previous correspondence I
thought it might be useful to have a typed copy of record of my
summing up in the recent prosecution under Ordinance No. 15 of
1907. I therefore employed a writer and now enclose the script for
Your Excellency's information. It is very rough and unpolished.

There is one point in connexion with the Ordi-
-nance which should I think be considered if the matter is to
be considered again. It is undoubtedly an anomaly that such an
offence for which this man was convicted would be considered as
a political offence for purposes of extradition, and his surren-
-der refused, and yet the offence if committed in Hongkong is
punished.
I have etc.,
(Sd.) F. T. Piggott,
His Excellency
Sir Frederick Lugard,
Governor of Hongkong.
K.C.M.G..
Chief Justice.
