Sir:-

I am directed to acknowledge with thanks the

receipt of your letter of the lith instant, trans-

mitting a copy of a letter which you have addressed

to His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Poking, con-

cerning the murder of Yeung Kui Wan,

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

tonese Authorities are concerned, can be pursued no

further, and desires me to express his thanks to you

for the careful enquiries which you have made in a

matter which so closely concerned the Government of

this Colony.

Hi Britannic Majesty's

Acting Consul General,

Canton.

(Signed)

I have, &c.,

J.H. Stewart Lockhart,
