GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
Hong Kong.

18th April, 1947.
In accordance with Section 18 of the Deportation of Aliens
Ordinance, No. 39 of 1935, I have the honour to report the deportation,
an 20th February, 1947, of Liang Shien Pang alias Leung Tit alias Leung
Hin Pong, a Commander on the active list of the Chinese Navy under
Section 3 (1) (c) of the same ordinance, No. 39 of 1935, and to report
the attendant circumstances.
2.
On 22nd January, 1947, I was visited by Dr. Chang Fa Yun,
Director General of the Chinese Customs Administration, acting on the
orders of Dr. T.V. Soong, then President of the Executive Yuan, and
General Kwai Wing Ching, Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, who
requested my assistance in apprehending Commander Liang Hsien Pang who
was believed to be in hiding in Hong Kong.
3.
Liang Hsin Pang was known by the Chinese authorities to be
deeply involved in smuggling, as the result of the seizure of four
landing craft and the confessions by certain of the smugglers on board.
After consultation with my officers Dr. Chang arranged to fly a special
identifier from Nanking and on the arrival in the Colony of this officer,
the Hong Kong Police were enabled to effect the almost immediate arrest
of Liang. I issued the warrant for arrest and detention of the person
named on 15th February, and, with the advice of Executive Council, an
order for deportation for life was made on 19th February. It was executed
on the following day.
kuas
