I am not allowed to give any information about him out there. Captain Deane (a witness in the old defence, I cannot speak of) was an officer in the 91st Regiment, and there is evidence whatever in his own words that it is entirely against Captain Superintendent ...-ing the English law.
I take a great interest in him, as he was one of the prisoners taken at Quinsan, where M. Quincey learnt under the late General Charles Gordon. He was educated in several dialects and became Interpreter to the Hong Kong Police in 1870, and later to the 3/5th Regiment Police Court, & afterwards to the Hong Kong Government. He has always been known to all the Governors of Hong Kong from that time to this, & it seems to me very hard that without some appointment he should return to China, to see if he could find any relations living.
Kindly took him out & put him into the Hong Kong Prisoners' list, he was of great interest. He became Interpreter to the Government, and was known to love the highest character. When he wished to return to China, I said he should do so, provided I could get evidence whatever, except if I said he could get any.
