of your despatch of the 10th. instant, requesting the
extradition to Hongkong for trial of the min Liung Tou,
concerned in the Hongkong New Territory murder case.
I have the honour to point out that, had Liang
Tou been arrested in Hongkong, he would of course have
been amenable to the Courts of Great Britain. The prisoner,
however, was arrested in the district of Hsin-un, and iɛ
moreover a Chinese. The Treaties provide that violent
breaches of the peace, committed by Chinese against Brit-

by bad characters, shall be tried and punished by the
local officials of China herself; there is no clauBU
giving consent to the surrender of Chinose criminals
