This is specially notablé :— The action of the society has been altogether irregular and I may say that in their efforts to make

out that they have been proceeding in a legal way [30think the truth has not been adhered to.

The simple facts of the case appear to rue to be that a detective of the society, in what be no doant considered to be the discharge of his duty, found this man on board a steamer, being brought into the colony by the prisoner, and that be thereupon arrested the prisoner and took both men to the Po Leung Kuk; that there the prisoner was locked up, and, the day beleg Sunday, was kept there until the following General's office, and from there to the Police day, when he was sent down to the Registrar. Station, I am extremely doubtful as to the existence of the other two men. They have disappeared. Nobody has seen anything of them. In the statement contained in the letter which was forwarded to the Registrar-General there is not a word about anybody except the prisoner and the complainant, and it seems to me rather as if the delective Mok Chi, thinking he might have exceeded his duty, has tried to resolvs the maller loto a squabble between faut parties, with the view of giving the impression that they remained 14 the Tung Wa at their own pleasure and were in no way detained.
