Statement of the messenger of the San On Magistrate
Do Un(?) states:-
*I am a native of Nam Tau. The San On Magistrate issued this order to one of the Chin Chau Braves who hired me to do his work. His name is Small-pox Ng. There were 13 notices; 2 were taken to be posted at Castle Peak and Tai Mo Shan. I have handed over all the notices I had. I do not know who took those for Kai Shui Mun and Castle Peak. I have not posted a single notice. I was going to begin at Ping Shan when I was stopped. I came here from Nam Tau today by the Un Long pass-boat. I landed at Sha Tau Kok and came direct here. I have not been to any other shore.
This is the order regarding the notice.(Order handed in: See translation attached)
1899.
