Colonial Secretary's Office.

HKong,

20th May 1899.

**MEMORANDUM FOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL**

With reference to your letter No.62 of the 16th instant and previous correspondence relative to the murder of the messenger Tang Cheung, I am directed to inform you that the Captain Superintendent of Police has sent for some informers who know the men concerned in the murder and can track them. Those informers are expected to arrive in Hong-Kong on Monday next, the 22nd instant, and it is proposed to send them with a reliable Chinese Detective to the San On Magistrate to render assistance.

I am accordingly to request you to move the Viceroy to instruct the San On Magistrate to send his Police with the Detective and informers immediately on their arrival at his Yamen on Thursday next to effect the arrest of the supposed murderers.

Mr. May is of opinion that if prompt co-operation is accorded, there is every chance of a satisfactory result being arrived at.

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient Servant

(sgd.) J.G.T.Buckle.

Colonial Secretary.

Her Britannic Majesty's Consul,

Canton
