10. At the close of the interview Mr. Wei Han asked if he might be supplied with a note of the points we had discussed, and it was in these circumstances that Mr. Clementi's letter of April 21st was written. It was handed to Mr. Wei Han and not sent through the post, and it formed an enclosure to my further Despatch 204 of 22nd May, 1911, to the Secretary of State of which a copy was transmitted to Your Excellency.

11. The point which had been raised by Mr. Wai wan regard- ing the place occupied by the Officer deputed by the Chinese Government to attend the trial in extradition cases, had as I have said been held over, for reference to my legal advisers. My reply was conveyed by Mr. Clementi in a demi-official letter dated May 9th which formed an enclosure to the same despatch. On reflection I admit that this was an error of judgment, and the reply should have been sent through the Consul-General with a full explanation of the circumstances in which the question had been raised. I much regret that this course was not

pursued.

12. In regard to the question of details in Police proce- dure for the suppression of crime, Mr. Wei Han replied in a demi-official note to the Colonial Secretary that the Viceroy accepted all the proposals made (enclosure iii in Despatch of 22nd May,

1911.)

13. On May 20th Mr. Jamieson was on my launch, and as I

was stepping ashore he mentioned the fact that he had seen a statement in the Press regarding these Police arrangements, and said that the fact of his not having been consulted or informed

of their progress had placed him in an awkward position. I

at once apologised for my over-sight, and assured him emphatical-

ly that it had been due solely to accident and not to any desire

to eliminate him. I explained how the matter had grown up

informally
