The Police report that they have known the two men named

Ching Sam alias Chan Fat Cheung, alias Lanny Fui and Trang Town, 1st and 3rd prisoner in the rendition for over a year; during this time they had no employment nor means of livelihood in this Colony, and it is fully believed

about 20 men, but since their arrest the remainder of the gang

The question, therefore, for the Governor in Council to consider is

whether in presence of the unsatisfactory report of the Magistrate, the papers should be sent back to the Magistrate to state whether he is of opinion that there is a prima facie case

of the accused to the Chinese Authorities.
