It
is only
on one side which
the breach of the Treaty
can cause the other side
to set it at nought. For this reason, I have on all
repeated the absolute ____
occasions
necessity for a strict observance of good faith, with a view to secure
peace and friendship...
I have already reported to my Government your Excellency's statement that
Eleven Criminals
the sentence of the remaining will soon be confirmed and that
you
will
immediately inform me as soon as the confirmation has been received. More than forty days have elapsed, and I daily expect to receive an intimation to that effect...
Accept
the
assurances &c.

Note from M. Butzlaff to Sir John Davis, Bart., dated 16th February 1848.
I have the honour to report to your Excellency, that having by the direction of the Colonial Secretary written to the Heangshan Magistrate, to urge the apprehension of a servant of the Paymaster of 95th Regiment and the recovery of
200 Dollars which he had stolen, the
I
money
was
sent to-day, and I forwarded the same to Mr. Hillier. This promptness is the effect of Your Excellency's
in the
measures in-
former
instance, and will go far to deter evil-doers. The clan of the offender, fearing a judicial
prosecution, sent the
money
at once.
(Signed) Charles Gutzlaff.
