ed. Now Lai Ming Chun, as a man, is not one who is numbered among the gentry, nor is his name pronounced by the lips of the illustrious. Yet he falsely dilates in slanderoné language and spreads diffusedly by word of mouth stories to the defilement and pollution of (the good name of) Messrs Teapg and Woo. 1 was right therefore that Messrs Tsang and Woo sought to sue hire in the Courts of Justice, and he was on the eve of being punished by the utmost penalty of the law. Fortunately, however, Mesars l'aang and Woo's magna- nimity is expansive an the sea and as capa- cious as the ocean, and they deal with people liberally; with that end in view, they therefore prefer, instead of pund- shing him, as he rightly deserves, to for- give him of the enormous crime of which he has been guilty, Having ceased BANK-litigation now, they have no resent ment against any one, and by so doing, they cherish the friendly tie that exists amongst the Chinese clans. They have also shewn that in doing this they are inflicting a lenient punishment for the sake of a great warning. They are indeed fully sustaining the benevolent principles of the great men, and for this act of theirs, may the happiness (or good fortune) of Messrs Tsang and Woo never grow less.

an, the ocean, and it was thus that the This is suffi matter was put an end to. cient to show that Mesere Tsang and Shun are peaceful and quiet men, and that they have done a very good act. But Tai Ming Chun is a man who is very much conceited (it.the night pedestrian who thinks a great deal of himself), and one who falsely dilates in satire and raillery. He began life in a very mean position, and is not of a respectabis family (lit. the descendant of the pure and white). While in a menial position, he, moreover, offends his supe riors. Therefore it would not be arbitrary were he to be banished beyond the frontiers, nor would it be too much were he to be put to the sword (t. under the axe). Now that he is only fined in so mall a sum, it is indeed bis good fortune that he has escaped greater consequences.
