I have to inform you that the local newspapers are reporting the proceedings at the Police Court on the 24th instant.

I will keep you acquainted with the further actions that may be taken in this case.

It will be remembered that on 16th April, 1895, Sir G. Bowen referred to you certain papers in which it was alleged that a Chinese residing in Hongkong whose arrest was desired by the authorities at Canton, had been carried off from a private launch, while we were on board, by some men who came alongside in a boat, and taken away against his will, and handed over to the authorities at Canton. Encouraged apparently by the impunity with which this capture was effected, they now seem to go still further and openly make an arrest in the Lily of Victoria.

These Chinese crews whose status as seamen was known to be doubtful, have for some years past interfered in an improper way with the shipping in the Harbour of this Colony.
