In reply to your letter of the 6th. instant

No. 132, I have the honour to inform you that I have learned with much surprise that the Chiang Chan and Chief of Police at Canton declare ignorance of the whereabouts of Wong Kwok-wai. This crimin -al was deported from the Colony on the 29th. September and was escorted to the boundary near Shea Chun. At Shan Chun Railway Station he was seen by the Hongkong Police to be handcuffed and shackled by the Chinese Police. But on the 25th. ultimo the Captain Superintendent of Police received a report that this treacherous criminal had been released by the Chinese Authorities. On the 3rd, instant he was seen riding in a jinricksha at Macao.

This oriminal bas grievously offended against

the law both of this Colony and of china and in so doing has caused the death of an innocent person. His crime has aroused the righteous indignation of Europeans and Chinese alike in this Colony and I am truly pained and astonished that he should have been allowed to escape from the hands of justice. I therefore must request that you will be good enough to urge the Chinese Authori- -ties to compass his re-arrest and in any event to compensate in the sum of £1,000 his deeply wronged and unfortunate widow copy of whose statement I enclose,

In the meantime I have issued orders to the Captain Superintendent of Police that the hospitality of this Colony shall be refused to every Police Officer or Agent of the Kwangtung Government till I am satisfied that this brutal criminal

His Majesty's Acting Consul-General,
