RECO

REG? 27 JUN 19

Statement made before me this 24th day of April 1899.

(Signed) J. H. Stewart Lockhart.

Your Excellency,

I received this paper late last night. I had already reported this case to Your Excellency and the steps taken in connection with it. I informed you yesterday that the body had been received.

I now attach statements made before me today by the son of the deceased and by a clansman who discovered the body. I have informed the district concerned of his murder that $1,200 will have to be contributed towards the support of his widow, to be divided as follows:

Ha Tsun (where the murder resided and where those who caused the murder lived) $600 Kam Tin $150 Pat Heung $150 Shap Pat Heung $150 Ping Shan $150 $1,200

All the districts mentioned are members of the Council in the Meeting House of which the member was ordered. Representatives of all the districts were present when I announced my decision, and they all acknowledged its justice and promised to pay the money in a month.

I am taking one of the widow's twin sons into my employ.

(Signed) J. H. Stewart Lockhart.
