With reference to my letter of October 10th last
I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to transmit

the Colonies, a copy of a telegram which has been
received from His Majesty's Minister at Peking on the
subject of the murder in Hong-Kong of the Chinese reformer

the Officer administering the Government of Hong-Kong
and the Acting Consul General at Canton shall decide
whether the prosecution of the three persons accused
of a share in the crime should be proceeded with.
