Hon. Captain "uperintendent of olice,
Violation of ritish Teritory by the "Lung
San" at Chinese Chataukok.
I beg to submit statements regarding a serious
case of violation of British territory committed by the
農民
"Lung Man" at Chinese Shataukok, concerning which I saw
and spoke with you personally on the lst ultimo.
Apart from this particular case the "Lung Man"
have, ever since their formation, constantly shown dis-
regard for our territorial rights, and, because they have
been allowed to do so without any serious counter action
on our part, our local prestige has suffered considerably.
Many Chinese on both sides of the border marvel at our
forbearance, asking how long this state of affairs is
to continue.
s is well known much of this aggressiveness
on the part of the "Lung kan" is due to their lead, one

au are
Đ
natives of than icui, British thataukok, and both have
shown themselves to be rabidly anti-British. Both have
undisputed authority in Chinese Shotaukok and are res-
ponsible for, in fact the instigators of, these constant acts of trespass on our territory by the "Lung Man".
In these circumstances the one obvious remedy
is for our Government to ask the Canton Authorities to
remove these two men from their present office, and
further to ask that neither be permitted to hold any
local of icial appointment whatsoever. nless this is
done, or some o her special easure taken, the resent unsatisfactory situation will continue indefinitely.
Submitted.

Assistant superintendent of rolice,
