Captain was present, so this evidence seems weak.

Page 18:

Another witness, since dead, mentions meeting B. with others of the gang just before the murder was committed.

Page 10: The brother of the man executed at Canton for having dealings with the Hongkong Police stated he met B. at Canton in company with others of the gang, a few days before the murder. Presumably the murder was then arranged, but evidence of what actually passed was not given, probably as it would not have been evidence against the accused.

Page 12:

In Sir Henry Blake's Despatch of June 20th., 1808, to the Colonial Office he refers (paragraph 7) to statements made by witnesses in 1901, and the Attorney-General's opinion also refers to statements made otherwise than at the trial but copies of these do not appear to have been communicated to the Legation. Possibly they contained evidence against B. and others that could not, for technical reasons, be produced at the trial of Li Kwai ran. The Attorney-General's opinion also refers to a discrepancy in the evidence as to whether B. was in Hong Kong or Canton at the time of the murder. In the Judge's Notes, page 12, the witness Kong Ngau Ying (since dead) says he was at Hong-Kong on January 10th. The other witness Chan Aan (page 10) mentions having seen him at Canton on the 7th. Perhaps the Attorney-General may have been alluding to some other statement by Chan Man, which I have not seen.

The evidence so far is apparently not very strong, but possibly we might ask for the trial of this officer.

It is to be presumed that you will be able to say where he is to be found.
