er own end to

*I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of your despatch of the 10th. instant, requesting the

extradition to Hongkong for trial of the man Liang Tom, concern-

-ed in the Hongkong New Territory murder case,

I have the honour to point out that, had

Liang Tom been arrested in Hongkong or in the leased territory

of Kowloon, he would of course have been amenable to the

Courts of Great Britain. The prisoner, however, was arrested in

the district of Hsin An, and is moreover a Chinese. The treaties

provide that violent breaches of the peace, committed by Chinese

against British subjects, and similarly acts of arson and

robbery by bad characters, shall be tried and punished by the

local officials of Chins herself; there is no clause giving

consent to the surrender of Chinese criminals to Great Britain

for punishment. My former request that you would move the

Governor of Hongkong, to send an officer to Hsin An, with the

witnesses, to facilitate a trial and the punishment of the

offender, was therefore strictly in accordance with the Treaty,

As you are doubtless quite aware, criminals

charged with robbery and murder of this kind are dealt with very

much more severely in China than under the penal code of Great

Britain. Since, therefore, the prisoner will be dealt with by

the Chinese Officials with the greatest possible severity, I

have again the honour to request that you will move the Governor

of Hongkong to send an officer with the witnesses to Hein An, in

order that the prisoner may be brought to trial and sentenced".

I avail etc.,

(Seal of Governor-General.)
