Chamberlain, M. P. His Majesty's principal Secretary for the Colonies, to which I received a reply through George Kemp Eng M. P. to the effect that he was not prepared to open the case, for the reason that Sir W. Robinson, the late Governor of Hong Kong in reporting my dismissal for being implicated in certain gambling scandals which were brought to light in the colony had practically admitted my guilt and made no defence whatever.
