To The Right Honourable

4th June 1911

In reference to my petitions to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, I extract from P.S. 45 John Hot Chong, Kong Police, have pointed out that I was wrongfully dismissed from the Hong Kong Police, on the 25th of August 1894, when other Police officers were charged by F. H. May, then Superintendent of Police, accused of receiving bribes from gamblers of whom I had been instrumental in averting.

I was on duty of identification in Shanghai. After several weeks' suspension, with other Inspectors, we were ordered to attend the office of Victoria Gaol, and cross-questioned by Insp. F. H. May, who was instructed by a Mr. Dennis, a solicitor, and eventually informed that we should be dismissed, without any previous warning, without any opportunity of engaging legal advice or a fair trial, only after a Chinese Prisoner undergoing six months' hard labour for keeping a gambling house, and who was afraid of banishment, said he did not know me.

We were to be tricked...
