REFOREIGN OFFICE. S.N.1. IRE 22 SEP 22

sir,
I am directed by the Marquesa Curzon of Kedleston
to transmit, herewith, copy of a despatch from His
Majesty a Minister at Peking, with enclosures, relative
to the detention and maintenance of the convict Abdul Jabar,
a British Indian subject, who was sentenced to death by
the Judge of His Majesty's Supreme Court sitting at Harbin,
but whose sentence was afterwards commuted to one of penal
servitude for life by His Majesty's Minister at Peking.
2. It will be observed that in his despatch to His
Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Shanghai of the 28th
March, the Governor of Hong Kong states that it has been
the practice of his government wherever possible to get long-
sentenced Indian prisoners transferred to their native
country. I am to request that Mr. Secretary Churchill will
be good enough to provide Lord Curzon with any information
which he may have in his possession regarding the payment
of expenses in such matters.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial office.
