YRUNG KUL-MAN MURDER CASE:

Arrangements with Hongkong Government as to prosecutions to be instituted in connection with

His Majesty's Consulate-

-General,

Canton, 11th. July, 1904.

With reference to your Despatch No. 15 of

Way 10th., I have the honour to state that i have been in corres- pondence with the Hongkong Government on the subject of the Yeung

Kui-wan case, and that on July 7th., I paid a visit to Hongkong

to discuss it personally with His Excellency the officer Adminis-

tering the Government.

Mr. May and I have agreed that the charges

against Tung Tseung and Ng Lo San should be prosecuted; but be-

fore taking any steps, we decided that the Hongkong Folice should.

endeavour to ascertain where these two men are to be found.

The evidence against Ng Lo San is weak,

but his connection with the crime was notorious, and it would, I

think, be less disadvantageous to proceed against him and fali

than to take no notice of him. There appears to be sufficient

testirony available to establish a prima facie case against him

in a Chinese Court; and it will be open to me, under the circums-

tances, to point out to the Viceroy that there are clues to his

proceedings in Canton in connection with the murder which the

Chinese Authorities, and not the Hongkong Government, are the

proper persons to follow up.
