My Lord,
I have the honour to report that, in the
case of Hau Kang Po who was sentenced to death for
murder, Sir Geoffry Northcote commuted the sentence
to imprisonment for life.
2.
The matter was considered by the Executive
Council which advised that the clemency of the Crown
should be exercised in this case. The advice was
accepted by Sir Geoffry Northcote.
3.
A copy of the Chief Justice's letter,
together with his notes of evidence during the
trial, is enclosed.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,
