Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong, 2nd. October, 1917.

I am directed to inform you that His Excellency the Governor considers that the evidence given by Er. J. D. Lloyd in the case against the Manager of the Tong Beng & Co. at the Criminal Sessions yesterday, as reported in the Daily Press Newspaper today regarding a present of a pair of gold and jade sleeve links is unsatisfactory.

I am to enquire what Mr. Lloyd did with the links, and if he still has them he should hand them to me.

I am also to enquire what other presenta Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Burn have received, and to request that they may all be handed to me.

The Superintendent,

Imports and Exports.

I am, etc.,

(sd.)

Claud Severn,

Colonial Secretary.
