Reference has been made to this matter in previous correspondences, though I cannot trace it on this document.

That is, rumours were hot in some private letter.

Givo. 2/2, Government House, Hong Kong, August, 1899.

Sir,

I think it is a case in which we could not refuse.

With reference to paragraph 19 of my despatch No.107 of the 28th April last, I have the honour to inform you that at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court held on the 29th and 30th June and the 1st July last, Tang Cheung Sa and Cheung Tin were convicted of the murder of Tang Cheung and sentenced to death, and that the sentence of the Court, after due consideration by myself in Executive Council, was duly carried into effect on the 31st ultimo.

The murdered man leaves a family, and seeing that he lost his life whilst discharging a duty for this Government, I propose to defray from Public funds the cost of the maintenance and education of one of his sons, aged 13.

The Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
