Subjectwere innocent; but it would appear from the O.C.A. 5.'s despatches that they were not tortured and that they were guilty. No case of torturing extradited persons or irritating innocent persons is made out. Is it worth which the Governor whether there is any evidence that any extradited persons have at any time been tortured?
The proceedings of the mixed court at Shanghai are of course a matter of concern. No. 917
It will, I think, be sufficient to send F.O. the correspondence about the 13 prisoners. It is the case which Sir A. Macmullen now complains of. But, look out some former papers of 1875 about the punishment of a witness who gave false testimony.
Three Despatches, Wink in hand, for these to F.O. if Lord Kimberley decides to answer the Governor's letter. These cases are "fatal" unless there is sufficient evidence to warrant the prisoner's surrender, as the Chinese give an undertaking that the man shall not be tortured.
There is probably a good deal of correspondence relating to particular cases of their extradition; but the practice is as stated.

It will be as well to state the general practice as well as the particular case.

Do you refer to the Spark's case? If so, the papers were sent at the time to the F.O.
I was thinking of that.
Cata 3186 were sent CP.d 14. July & I were referring F.O. to your letter of 13 April 1875 on 21506. - Stating that Lord Kimberley understood the practice to be as above; also refer to our letter of 25 Jan. 76: and Kimberley's of Feb. 19.76.
Draft at me.
