Customs after holding an enquiry imposed a fine; the owners of the
opium however did not report to the Samshui Branch office of the

but it was found that there did not exist at Hein t'ang any shop
of the style of Chien ch'ang; while from first to last the men
in charge of the opium were unable to produce a trading licence.
