But the "edicts" are still stronger evidence of the light in which foreigners am regarded, Thus, on the 6th March 1938, some shopmicu had been detected in the heinous crime of dealing directly with foreigners.

Then we find foreigners prohibited from sending letters stept through compradores provided with scaled Badge (We may note in passtig that the receipt of news from England dated 10th June is announced on the 14th Decomber.)

The Magistrates held the charge to bo not sufficiently borne out, as it was not shown that the woman was not a consenting party, and the prisoner was discharged, but it is clear that, if innocent of the particular offence alleged, he was nevertheless guilty of as arrant a piece of kidnapping as was ever perpetrated by the most active and unscrupulous pig-dealer of Macao. He was a British subject, and the ship was under the British fing when the brutal art was done.
