It so happened, luckily, that Mosers Tsang and Woo's magnanimity proved to be as expansive as the sea and as capacious as the ocean, and it was thus that the matter was put an end to. This is suffi- cient to show that Messrs. Teang and Shun are peaceful and quiet men, and that they have done a very good act. But Lai Ming Chun is a man who is very much conceited (the night pedestrian who thinks a great deal of himself), and one who falsely dilates in satire and raillery.

Fortunately, however, Mesars Tsang and Woo'z magna nimity is expansive as the sea and as capa- cious as the ocean, and they deal with paople liberally; with that end in view, they therefore prefer, instead of puni- shing him, as he rightly deserves, to for- give him of the enormous crime of which he has been guilty. Having ceased 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 shown that in doing this they are iufliating 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.
