Hie
On the 1st proximo, per 8. 8. "Polynesien",
Sidney Livesey of Hongkong is being sent to your Colony,
history is as follows:- Age 29; Born, Hongkong; Father, English,
Mother, Eurasian; Lived, Hongkong 17 years, Macao 5 years, Shanghai 7 years. The first six years of his residence here
he was looked after by his brother who, however, went on active
service last year, since that time he has been the object of charitable support and is being sent to Hongkong by the same
mean B.
His condition renders it impossible to find
employment at this port or even permit his permanent inclusion in the Casual Ward. He is congenitally weak-minded, feeble physically and in control, but at the same time not sufficient- ly wanting in intelligence to be certified as insane.
As he is a native of Hongkong and his further support here is most undesirable I have the honour to request that steps may be taken to prevent his return to this port.
(Sd.)
I have, &c.,
F. H. FRASER,
Consul General,
Not sent, through a misunderstanding on the part of the Charity Organisation Society by whom Livesey was sent to Macao vis Hongkong. From a letter from the Captain Superintendent of Police, Hongkong, to the Secretary of the above Society it is noted that Livesey left Hongkong for Macao on the 4th
instant.
