Sir,

60 Queen's Road, Edmanory Chambers,

May 2nd 1887.

RECO (REG 5 W 87)

We have the honour to enclose for the perusal and information of His Excellency the Acting Governor, six declarations (Declarations of Lo Fook, Luk Rai-thong, Jung Jai Jonn, Chan Cheong-tsz, bheag Im Ahi, Sam Wang-to, Li akit and eta yuk) that we have had taken before the Boarding-house Justice of the Peace, with reference to a man named Leung-tsz; who is at present detained in Victoria Gaol under warrant of commitment issued by Mr. Wodehouse, the Police Magistrate, under Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1880, and we respectfully ask His Excellency to immediately order the release of the said Leung-tsz from Gaol, where he has been detained ever since the 19th February last, as he has not been found guilty of any offence against the laws of China provided for by Section 21 of the Treaty of Tientsin incorporated in Ordinance No. 2 of 1871.

As upon the action taken by His Excellency in this matter not only the fate of our client Leung-tsz depends, but also the lives, liberty, and property of some hundred thousands of persons subject to the rule of Her Majesty the Queen in this Colony, we feel justified in urging the release of our client. We do not intend to reiterate what our client urged before the Magistrate, but we cannot help feeling that...
