:

to a

despatch of Sir G. Bowen No940

board a private

steam launch at Hongkong and - taken out of the waters of the - Colony when he was

८

thrown into prison. There is little

doubt that the complaint

true

but it was considered that there was not sufficient evidence to

:

press a formal request that he might be given up.
