the former petition states that he had been apprehended in Hongkong; it was averred that he had made his escape to Pinang. In order to discover which of the two statements was the correct one, and whether Penang was really a part of Hongtong, and a British possession, it would be most expedient to await until the Viceroy wrote to the British Consul and asked him to move His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong to institute enquiries on the subject and issue instructions that Yong Pak-tsun and the others should be handed over to trial and punishment.

With reference to this case on receipt of reports from the Rivai shin Papistrale and from his military adjutant T'ai, he wrote on each occasion to Her Majesty's Consul requesting him to move His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong to have over Yong Pak-metam Pak-pri-kam and the other criminals to Lieutenant di Ping-t'ai.

Now that he has received the foregoing statements, it becomes his duty to communicate them to Her Britannic Majesty's Consul, and beg him to move His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong to institute inquiries as to whether Yong A-Sap-by alias Yong te-by has escaped to Pinang and if Penang is British territory.
