To His Excellency Sir John Bowring, Governor.

Hongkong, 25th July, 1857.

May it please Your Excellency,

Yesterday, in the presence of the Colonel Commanding the Troops, the Attorney General, and the Acting Chief Magistrate, I preferred certain charges against Mr. Hennessy, in my capacity, namely, 1st, with neglect of duty in not taking steps to prosecute certain libels; and 2nd, with having libelled the Government.

But having, as Acting Colonial Secretary, communicated to Your Excellency that Mr. Eitel had verbally informed me that he had simply received instructions to prosecute the Proprietor of the Hongkong Telegraph, and that Your Excellency had directed that the matter should be laid before you.
