Canton.
27th July, 1927.
Sir,
44
I have the honour to inform you that the
Provincial Government is in receipt of a report from the
Tung Kun District Magistrate stating:-
"The three brigands Yun Kiu, Yun Shao-nga-kun,
Yun Po-kiu have repeatedly robbed in bands, their most
recent outrages being the kidnapping of the son of Mrs.
Tsik Cheung-shih held to ransom for a large sum, and the
wounding of the chief of a volunteer band, Yun Hin-sou.
These three brigands have absconded to
Hong Kong Hospital where they are being treated. Now
there is a Yun Hou-keung well acquainted with the facts
who can proceed to Hong Kong to assist in their arrest.
It is requested that the Governor of Hong Kong be moved
to instruct his subordinates to cooperate with Yun Hou-
keung and at once to arrest and extradite the malefactors".
From the above it will be seen that the three
persons in question have already been found to have
committed many crimes and should therefore be arrested and
brought to justice. Apart from giving Yun Hou-keung a
despatch to take to Hong Kong as evidence to facilitate
the making of the arrests I have also written this letter
to you to request you to telegraph to the Governor of
Hong Kong to instruct the Police to send detectives to go
with Yun Hou-keung to the residence of the criminals in
order to effect their arrest and extradition for the public
good.
