And yet in the face of all this the Lekin Authorities in Canton have within the past few months Initiated a system of wholesale plundering of merchandise shipped by British subjects under transit passes for the Interior, with a brazen-faced audacity which is simply incomprehensible.

The supercargoes and others in charge of the goods for Messrs, ANDREW & Co., although expressly protected by Treaty, were rigorously imprisoned and cruelly beaten and tortured in order to extort confessions that would justify the Lekin authorities in these seizures; one of the hapless unfortunates obtained his release by payment of a heavy fine, the others are still languishing in gaol at Canton, and there they are likely to remain to the, end of the chapter.

It goes on to say that “ceriafra ladies of rank and fashion at the time, to his minature to be painted on the Inside. express their abhorrence of him, caused of the bottom of a dozen most humble vessels, which were duly distributed."
