Sir,

With reference to my confidential despatch
of the 5th May on the subject of the extradition proceed-
ings instituted by the Canton Authorities against Chung
Sau Nam, I have the honour to inform you that both parties
have now arrived at a settlement. The Kwong Tung Govern-
ment have abandoned the application for the extradition of
Chung Sau Nam who has on his part consented to judgment in
the civil action brought against him for the recovery of
the money which was the subject of the extradition charge.
2.
Chung Sau Nam has accordingly been released
and the appeal to the Privy Council referred to in my con-
fidential despatch of the 19th March will not therefore be
13373
proceeded with.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,

Your most obedient,
humble servant,
