through listening to false reports were foolish enough to collect people to offer resistance; but after receiving the kind proclamations issued by the British and Chinese Governments, we then became conscious of our error. We beg the Honourable Wei Yuk to transmit our petition to the Honourable Colonial Secretary, so that he may submit it to His Excellency the Governor, whom we pray may be pleased to examine it and mercifully pardon us. We undertake from this day henceforward to be law-abiding and loyal subjects, and if we again create any disturbance, we will willingly surrender ourselves for punishment according to law.
