Fortunately, however, Mesara Thang and Woo's magna- nimity is expansive as the sea and as espa cious as the ocean, and they deal with people liberally, with that end in view, they therefore prefer, instead of pupi shing him, as he rightly deserves, to for- give him of the enormous crime of which he has been guilty. Having седвед litigation now, they have no resent ment against any one, and by so doing, they cherish the friendly tie that exists amongst the Chinese claus. They have also shown that in doing this they are inflicting à lenient punishment for the sake of a great warning. They are indeed fully austaining 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,

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, ie it likely that he will submit himself to be killed?
With regard to Lai Ming Chun, he is indeed a bare faced fellow, and one who has no regard for anything. On the 27th day of the 10th Moon last year (24th November 1875), he slandered Messrs.
