Lot of Jen-chi to be dealt with." I find from the above report that by Article XXI of the Treaty of Peking "if criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hong Kong, they shall upon due requisition by the Chinese Authorities be searched for, arrested, and delivered up."
In the present instance a provincial graduate named Lo Jen-chi carried off by mistake the examination papers of another graduate named Lo-tai-jao, on the matter coming to light, instructions were issued for his arrest. He voluntarily appeared in Court and the ex-Magistrate Chang investigated the matter, took down the evidence, and arrived at a decision. On the 29th of June Lo Jen-chi took advantage of the absence of his custodian to escape, and it has been discovered that he fled to Hongkong and is residing in the top storey of a foreign hong in Sam Shih-chien.
It is my duty, therefore, to request his rendition in accordance with the Treaty, and I have to request that you will transmit this Despatch to the Governor of Hongkong and act on His Excellency's direction to have Lo Jen-chi arrested and conveyed in custody to Canton, delivered through you to me to be dealt with, and thereby preserve the entente cordiale.
