All Wei-yuen cheng intended to do was to recommend the men as tenants. Alr Cowie. then proceeded to quote from the Alcock-Medhurst notifies tion on the subject of security chop and took for his text the famously inju dicious sentenes in which Mr Medbust saysThe Chinese are in the habit of regarding a surety rather in the fight of a person who comes forward to recor
end his principal, or to assist him
towards the attain arent of some cherished object, such as a loan, a place, etc., that as an individual who binds himself, to stand to all intents and purposes in the stead of his principal and to fulfil all his obligations with and for hint. Upon this interpretation of Chinese custom, as given by a British Consul, Mr Cowie appealed to the Chinese Magistrate and the United States Assessor to hold that Wel yune-chong only intended to recommend the tenants of Ar Yates, and in no ser SO to become responsible for any defalcations on their park. The defendant not being prosent, however, judgment was given by the Chinese Magistrate against him based upon the security chop produced, s proviso being made that he might have ten days wherein to appear and protes other proof if practicable to shew case why that judgment should not be ex forced. As regerds the doorment, baken by itself, the decision on its merits was upmistakable.
It is hardly possible to overrate the importance of this decision, as regards · Merobants of U. S. nationality that is --doing business at Shanghai and other ports where American Consuls are sta tioned. To them in future a security chop means "security" as much as the acceptance of a bill amongst foreigner means that the acetor holds himsel responsible for its being duly honoured, We congratulate our American fellow residents in China upon this happy decl ston. More than that, we take some credit to ourselves for having predicted. that it was to Atherican and other foreign action, wo must in future look for the enforcement of Treaty stipulations. Great Britain having avowedly resigned the leadership in such matters we welcome the nearest of kin, and the least trap: - melled by an obstructive foreign office, as our natural successors, Dr Jenkins, the Interproter and Assessor in the casty
