Perist, betoria, on the right of the rf. Kistant. The English Police were fortunately on the alert, and nine of these attacking the actors with their firearms, killed one, wounded others and forced the rest to flight, leaving behind them a number of long spears. The dead body of the robber has been sent over to Kowloon to be identified if possible.

It appears that the pirates escaped in Boats, and there is every reason to suppose that the island Chungchew on the West of Hongkong is one of their haunts. I should recommend Your Excellency directing a rigid search to be made on that island, to clear it, if possible of those public nuisances; or, I shall be happy to request His Excellency the Rear Admiral of Her Majesty's Squadron to cause one of his vessels to proceed thither for process against any of the inhabitants who may be concerned in piracy, which is equally opposed to the laws of China and England.

With many wishes to Your Excellency,

I have &c. (Aigues) J.H. Clavell.

I have Copy.
