by a seizure made last week of opium, each cake of which bore stamp duty labels. At Hoihow the charges payable appear to have been various, which is accounted for by the disturbed

state of that port, sums are constantly appearing in the invoices for customs duty, in certain cases the expression used suggests that the payment made was not strictly legal, even as legality goes in the outports of Chine today; whether

some of the payments were in the nature of bribes to Customs Officers or payments mede to some official to allow the

opium to pass is not clear. At Hoihow the opium was placed

en board various ships, chiefly those belonging to the China

Navigation Steam Navigation Company and the Indo-China Steam

Navigation Company, and a few other ships regularly running

between Hoihow and Hongkong. The fee for getting the opium

on board was fixed at 5 cents per tael paid in Hoihow. The

opium was entrusted to the Chinese craw or the compradore's

staff, for this a regular fes was paid of 15 cents per tael.

(Osoasionally it is plain from the books of account that the

orew did not get their proper share, two or three centa

sticking to somebody's palm on the way) This money was

disbursed by the firm or their agents in Hongkong, probably

a member of the firm was allowed the full 15 cents but was

permitted to make a better bargain if he could, thus in certain cases only 15 cents was actually paid over though in

the ledger of the firm the full 15 cents appears, The expenses of landing in Hongkong are charged at a uniform rate of 10 cents per tael, this is sometimes called boat hire, sometimes godom rent, sometimes "robbers' den" rent, sometimes simply landing expenses, this work also seems to have been contracted out to someone connected with the firm,

there was doubtless a little profit for some one here also. From various indications it appears probable that the opium was put off the steamers before they reached the harbour (that this is the common practice is confirmed by the seizure
