S.'s father, thin what appears to be the Imperial Government's more reasonable delay of this they thing Authentics in detaining the 15 persons accused of the followers of Young Sin-Wei and other members.

Since this letter is but at the end of /883, these men have been detained by the Hanging Authorities without any satisfaction being assigned for their detention. They have been presumed to be at fault by the Authorities.

The guarantees demanded for the treatment to which they might be subjected have been given and accepted, and yet the extradition is refused.

In the Imperial Government's reply it appears that the Prisoners be freed, and

244

and the Police Superintendent has satisfied himself on this point, they might have surrendered in conformity with the Plea, and it does not appear to be quite clear that the eighth might not be at liberty.

En conclusion, they append the appearances in citation for which Sir Charles May, the late Parliamentary Under Secretary, in the name of H. E. the Governor, had handled the Surrender of the 13 Prisoners at once referred to, and hope that the present communication may enable me to report to the Imperial Government the respect that has been given to that undertaking.
