GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONG KONG. 6th May, 1930.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Your Lordship's despatch No.46 of the 19th of February, 1930,
forwarding a copy of a League of Nations Document relative to
seizures of opium at Vancouver and St. John, N.B.
2.
With regard to the case of Lee Kee mentioned on
the last page of the document, from the few particulars supplied
nothing can be discovered in this Colony in regard to the Choi
Wah Co., which is said to have sent the parcel containing the
opium to Lee Kee. As the packet was apparently transmitted by
unregistered book post no particulars in regard to it are on
record in the Post Office.
3.
With regard to the rubber-stamp mark on the book,
there is a firm styled "Man Bow Sing" at 13 Des Voeux Road West,
second floor, in this Colony, but there is no evidence that this
firm was the sender in the present instance or even that it is
identical with the "Man Bow Sing" whose mark was on the book. No
trace has been found of any firm styled "Man Bow Sing" in Bonham
Strand.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
W.D. Southoth.
Officer Administering the Government.
LORD PASSFIELD,
