BORANEKIN ON CAPTAIN TAYLOUR'S GRIEVANCES.

623

Capt. Taylour's chief complaints are as follows:

(1) The Chan Pui affair. In October 1910, the shroff Wong-diau-lha absconded with some $3,800 of public money. The Governor considered that Capt. Taylour's supervision had not been adequate and called upon him to pay $750, with the approval of the Secretary of State at the time. This decision of the Governor was upheld by the Secretary of State. Recently, a Chinese Clerk, Chan Pui, absconded with some $30,000 of Government money, and was convicted. Thereupon Capt. Taylour proceeded to appeal against the decision taken in 1910 on the ground that it was now clear that the fault was that of Chan Pui. Mr. Bushe advised that the conviction could not be regarded as a fait nouveau undermining the action previously taken, and Capt. Taylour was consequently informed in a letter from this office dated the 18th of August (38526) that the Secretary of State did not consider that the recent conviction of Chan Pui was a fait nouveau which would undermine the action previously taken in his case, that action having been based on a lack of supervision on his part. The letter added that Lord Harcourt did not consider that he need regard the circumstances as having cast any slur on his character, the action taken having been due barely to the fact that the Governor at that time did not consider...
