NOTICE.
MAN'S character should be judged from what it has been before, sud by that means elegance or worthlessness can be discerned. A story should be judged by its true or false bearings, so that right and wrong may be distinguished. These remarks apply to the case in which Messrs Tsang Shun Yee and Woo Lin Tak were, on the 27th day of the 10th moon last year (24th November 1875), slandered by Lai Ming Chun.
Mestra Teang Shun Yee and Woo Lin Tak have been residing for more than ten years in Hongkong and have always been employed in representing Nam Pak Hongs In their transactions with foreigners. While their character stands high, their con duct is excellent, and they have for a long time back been respected by both Chinese and foreigners. They have not only not borne a name that is approaching to any thing improper, but they have not in the course of all their actions done anything objectionable. Unexpectedly, however, slander came upon them unawares, but of course, when virtue stands high, reproach They were therefore falsely charged by Lai Ming Chun's letter, which was void of all truth, with selling people for emigration abroad. They are indeed la bouring under a false imputation from which it is now diffleult for them to clear them-

NOTICE IN EXPLANATION OF A SLANDER.
THE principios of right or wrong will feat themselves in course of time, and this saying is clearly, set forth in the History of China. When undue reliance is placed on statements by word of mouth, a good argument is always wanting, and this Is what the Book of Changes has always guarded people against. If a man is not guilty of anything seriously wrong, is it likely that he will submit himself to be killed?
With regard to Lal Ming Chun, he is indeed a bare faced follow, and one who has no regard for anything. On the 27th. day of the 10th Moon last year (24th November 1875), he slandered Messrs. Taugehuu Yae and Woo Lin Tak by false Jy acousing them of being engaged in the nefarious trade of selling people for the purposes of emigration, and that in their transactions they were in fact kidnappers. And finally, he recorded the same in the Toun Wan Yat Po, (The Universal Circulat ing Herald), do that Messrs Tesog and Woo had thought of suing him before the local
