Aberdeen.

3rd Octocer, 1914.

The Under Secretary for Scotland,

Scottish Office, Whitehall,

Sir,

LONDON.

S.V.

I beg to send you a communication, dated 28th September

ult., which I received a few days ago, from Pickfords Ltd.,

London, with reference to the forwarding of prohibited drugs

to Hong Kong. I have had the Er. J. G. Milne referred to in

the communication interviewed, and a statement made by him

is also sent herewith.

The matter appears to be one which cannot be dealt with

here, and I am to ask your instructions in the matter. Perhaps it should be reported to the Customs at London, or

to the Crown Agents for the Colonies.

Meantime I have replied to Pickfords Ltd., that the

matter is receiving attention.

2 Encl./

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

(Signed) W. ANDERSON.

Chief Constable.
