4. I propose to banish Ty Sui Shaich alias Ng Lo Sam, who clearly arranged the murder and has from time to time been giving information to the police. I understand that our busy Captain Superintendent sent for him on one occasion. He has evidently been playing a double game, acting as a secret agent for the Chinese police. He has, I understand, accumulated considerable interests in this Colony so that his banishment will be at least an inconvenience.

But the Government cannot base a demand for extradition on the evidence available, in default of which to order the assassination by police agents of a person peacefully residing in this Colony is a very serious matter. Such official assassinations can be carried out with careful arrangements, and escape at the moment is very probable. If, on reading the evidence available, you consider it sufficient to justify a demand for explanation, I would suggest that a demand be made for reparation of twenty thousand dollars for the widow and family of the murdered man.
