I wish, therefore, that you would satisfy yourself as to the man's condition of mind, and then, according as you think Eit, either require him to undergo the same penal labour in Singapore as the other three, or remit such part of it as appears to you proper, having regard to his deficiency; or if you consider him to be scarcely responsible for his acts, though I do not imagine that such is the case, you may feel disposed to communicate with the Regent of Perak with reference to returning him to that state to be detained, but without pensă labour.

I have not sufficient information to give you more definite instructions, but I am confident that I may rely upon your discretion to make such distinction, if any, in Se Tuah's punishment as his weakened state of intellect renders humane and proper.

I have, &c. (Signed) CARNARVON.
