expense in order to bring to justice a citizen of the
United States Republic accused of murdering another
419
citizen of that Republic while passing through the juris-
-diction of this Colony en route from American territory.
Had reasonable facilities for furthering the course of
justice existed between the two Government much of the
innumerable telegrams, correspondence and expense might
have been saved, and I venture to submit for Your Lord-
-ship's consideration that the present case may be useful
for bringing about measures between the Government of His
Majesty and that of the United States which may obviate
such difficulties in future in respect of fugitives who
take refuge in Treaty Ports of China.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
