Your Excellency,
}
I have the honour to refer to 01
*
Excellency's corrinicution of the 16th. ultimo, with
reference to the c.se of Ling, Tou, accused of partic-
iption in the murder of two Indian Police officers in
the new territories of the Colony of Hongkong.
It is therein con'nded that, whereas the mon
was arrested within the Hsin-an District and is a Chinese
subject, so far from there bing a Treaty obligation to
hand him over to the Colonial authorities for trial, he
should, in terms of the Treaty, be dealt with by the Hein-
an Magistrato.
A few rem rks are added with regard to th: lon-
iency of British judicial procedure, as compared with
Chinese mothods of justice.
In reply I would offer the following observations
Axcellency Yuan,
Acting fov rnor-Ceneral of the Liang Kuang,
fenton.
