Dear Bushe,

With reference to the Hong Kong Piracy case,

Wilfrid Lewis thinks that all that need be printed in

the Appendix for the use of the Judicial Committee of

the Privy Council is the Order in Council dated the 10th

November 1933 referring the question to the Board and

the Judgments of the Hong Kong Court in the case of

Rex v. Chung Tam Kwong and others delivered on the 1st

April 1931. There are, however, three other documents

which he thinks might be of interest. Two of them are

referred to in the Judgment of the Hong Kong Court,

namely, the proceedings in the cases of the "Suning".

and the "Haiching" piracies. He would like to be

furnished with a certified copy of the documents on

the file of the Hong Kong Court in the cases of the

"Suning" and "Haiching" piracies. Will it be possible

for you to arrange for these documents to be obtained

from Hong Kong?

The third is the case referred to in Miss

Crump's book on Colonial Admiralty Jurisdiction in the

Seventeenth/
