the Gunboat. On page 5 of the Judge's Notes he is mentioned as having offered a reward for the murder of Yeung Kui an. It was in his barracks that the conspirators are said to have met (page 10). He is stated to have issued a certificate of merit to one of the persons implicated in the actual commission of the murder (page 11), and to have specially deputed him to carry it out (page 18).

C. is Ng Lo Sau, described as a police Agent, but lately the keeper of a gambling house at Canton.

The only witness at the trial who mentioned him was Kong Neau Ying, since dead (page 12 of the Judge's Notes:- he described a meeting of the conspirators at C.'s house on the night of the murder, but does not say that C. was present). He is also mentioned in the dying declaration of Yeung Kul Man, page 19, but it is there only said that one Kwang told the dying man that the Provincial Treasurer had commissioned C. to compass his murder. I do not notice Kwang's name in the list of witnesses now available, but I observe that the Attorney-General considers the statements of yourself and the Kong to constitute a strong case against him. Otherwise, I should have been of opinion that the evidence against him was not of much value.

In December, 1901, Mr. J. Scott, His Majesty's Consul-General, examined the evidence that was then procurable against this man, and came to the conclusion that nothing could be proved. He had been in the employ of the Hong Kong Police, and, as Mr. Scott says: "went and was in the pay of Canton and Hongkong alike, leaving no trace of his dealings, and so cleverly playing his double game that according to the highest legal opinion no conviction could be obtained against him in the Hongkong Courts". He was, however, expelled from Hongkong owing to the suspicions entertained of his complicity in the murder.
