December 20, 1913.

The Wai Chiao Pu has received a Telegram from the Tutu and Civil Governor of Canton Prevince stating that the deputy Chung Hsiu-

-nan previously in charge of the Kuangtung Treasury vaults stole there-

-from $150,000 in silver, together with the chief cash book showing moneys expended during the first six months of 1912; that the man fled

during August of the present year, and that detectives were detailed to

search for him everywhere. In October Hongkong police agents under the

guidance of these men arrested him and imprisoned him in the Court of the Chief Justice of Hongkong. The Telegram goes on to say that lawyers have been engaged on repeated occasions to bring a charge against the man and apply for his extradition, but that upto the present he has not been handed over to be dealt with; and requests the Ministry to inform

His Majesty's Minister, in order that he may communicate with the

Governor of Hongkong, who would issue orders that the man be handed

over and brought back to Canton by a deputy from that province for trial

The Vai Chiao Pu have the honour to observe that there is

conclusive evidence of Chung Hsiu-nan's having fled after stealing a

large sum of money. As he is now imprisoned at the Court of the Chief

Justice of Hongkong, he should be handed over to be tried according to

law by Chinese officials. The Wai Chiso Pu has the honour to request

His Majesty's Minister to communicate with the Governor of Hongkong

in order that the latter may give orders for the speedy extradition of

the criminal.
