CASE OF POLICE SERGEANT SHEIK ALIM. 14
The Captain Superintendent of Police, Hongkong, to The Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
(Received at the C.S.O., Hongkong, on 25th Aug., 1888,)
POLICE DEPARTMENT,
HONGKONG, 22nd August, 1888.
To the Right Honourable
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
MY LORD,
FOR THE COLONIES.
It is with deep regret that I have to present this my respectful memorial for Your Lordship's consideration, with reference to the tone and sub- ject matter of the enclosed minutes written by His Excellency the Governor of this Colony.
2. The minutes and my letters in reply will speak for themselves. I will preface then with a brief statement of their origin, and at the conclu- sion of the documents respectfully submit certain points for consideration:-
(a.) The lawful wife, a Chinawoman, of Police Sergeant SHEIK ALIM eloped taking with her property of her hus- band valued at $1,100.
(b) Sergeant SHEIK ALIM of his own mo- tion, acting on information that he believed to be correct, but taking with him one Chinese Officer in uniform and one in plain clothes and he him- self being in uniform, went without warrant to the shop and house, (which are the same) of Mr. Li KWONG CHI, a Draper, in whose em- ploy was a shopman named Leung KING who was believed by Sergeant SHEIK ALIM to be the seducer of his wife, and her confederate in stealing his property. This shop and house he searched, and he brought the shop- man to the Charge Room where the charge was refused and he was re- leased,
(c.) On the 25th July the shopkeeper for- warded to me a petition of complaint, this is a duplicate of the one forwarded on the same date to the Registrar General which forms the first docu- inent of the enclosures. This peti- tion I forwarded to the Inspector on duty for a report which I received; and I then made some verbal inqui- ries which put me in possession of the general outline of the case.
