Mor, so far. I am aware, the Attorney General be can the allow expected to do so unless the Government should be called on to take some upon action in the matter.
The facts of the case were, I believe, these: - Fair Achoy, a wealthy Chinaman, resident in the Colony, chartered a small steamer, and it became notorious that he was arming and engaging Europeans to go on board of her for the purpose of attacking a village on the Mainland, the inhabitants of which were said to be engaged in piracy and to have attacked some vessels in which Tam Schoya and his friends had an interest. There being some reason to believe that this was not the first occasion on which Europeans were so employed, the Attorney General preferred indictments against the charterer of the vessel, Fai Achoy, the Captain (Baker) and all others against whom evidence could be obtained.
