Hong Kong, 18th December 1873

To His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, G. C.M. G., Governor;

Peace Your Excellency,

I trust Your Excellency will allow me to address you on a subject in which are concerned the lives of eleven innocent men, and the prestige of the English Government.

In 1880 thirteen Chinese from the Mainland, who took refuge in this British Colony from a cruel unjust persecution from a very powerful class of their countrymen, have been arrested in British Kowloon, and taken to Victoria Jail. There they remained till May 1881 where their case was taken up at the Court and by order of the Court released and set at liberty.
