With reference to the 13 cases Bengal opium shipped to me
by your goodeelves, I beg to inform you that I have sold 8 oases in
small lots which passed without paying the new tax, but on 29th
ultimo my Consul left for Swatow and on 29th and 30th idem I was in
Macao. The monopolists taking advantage of the opportunity seized 6 balle on 29th ultimo and imprisoned the man, on 30th idem they
seized another 4 balls and imprisoned the bearer who was my employee.
On 2nd instant a new French Consul came here. On Saturday I
called on him and requested him to send a letter to the Viceroy
protesting against the seizure of the 10 balls and imprisonment of
the two men at the same time I hand him over a copy of the chefoo
treaty, copy of which I enclose herewith. He promised that he would
write a letter to the Viceroy today protesting against the seizure.
You thus see that the monopolists know that they are in the
wrong and that the new tax la illegal, as while my Consul and my-
self were here the 8 cases which I had sold passed without paying
any new tax.
Yours faithfully,
(sd) J. Sales.
