Dear Sir,
Ralph Miller, the son of my gamekeeper, who was a policeman in Hong Kong, was killed the other day by the accidental discharge of his pistol whilst he was putting it into his belt.
I enclose a cutting from a Hong Kong paper from which
it appears that the pistol in question, which was a service one, was defective. Under these conditions I am wondering whether the Colonial Office would hold that the authorities in Hong Kong owe some financial reparation to the parents. I think you will agree that in England the law would place some responsibility upon the employer but of course I don't know what the law in liong Kong may be and shall be grateful to you for any information which you may feel yourself free to give me on the subject.
P.S.
Yours truly,
Jan H. Amor.
Wilt you kindly return me the enclosed cutting.
The Secretary,
Colonial office,
LONDON.
