My Lord: -

183

In continuation of my despatch No. 44 of

the 17th instant regarding the murder of Yeung Kui

Wan in HongKong and the complicity of the Chinese

Authorities, I have now the honour to forward here-

with copy of a despatch from the Colonial Secretary

of HongKong, dated the 17th instant, from which it

will be seen that His Excellency the Governor con-

curs in the belief that the case, so far as the Can-

tonese Authorities are concerned, can be pursued no

further.

(Signed)

The Marquess of Lansdowne, K.G.,

&c., &c., &c.,

I have, &c.,

James Scott,

Acting Consul General,
