FOTICE IN EXPLANATION OF A SLANDER.
TP themselves in sourse of time; THE principles of right or wrong will and this saying is clearly set forth in the History of China. When undue reliance is placed on statements by word of mouth, a good argument is always wanting, and thie s what the Book of Changes has always guarded people against. If a man is not guilty of anything seriously wrong, is it likely that he will sabmit himself to be killed?
With regard to Lat Ming Chun, he is indeed a bare-faced fellow, and one who has no regard for anything. On the 27th day of the 10th Moou last year (24th November 1875), he slandered Messrs. Teangebuu Yee and Woo Lin Tak by false. ly accusing them of being engaged in the nefarious trade of selling people for the purposes of emigration, and that in their transactions they were in fact kidnappers. And finally, he recorded the same in the Trun Wan Yat Po, (The Universal Circulat ing Herald), so that Messrs Tsang and Woo had thought of sning him before the local authorities, so that he might be punished for libelling people's character. For. tunately for him, however, Lai Ming Chun learnt in time of his own wrong in slandering the character of good men, and the penalty of bearing the legal expetites in now he has voluntarily consented to pay the sum of $600, and to pay also into the poor box) $25, for the relief of the Hong. kong poor; also, from his own funds, to pay the costs of inserting in the Chinese and foreign newspapers, three of each, for
litigation now, they have no resent- ment against any one, and by so doing, they cherish the friendly tie that exists amongst the Chinese clans. They have also shows that in doing this they are inflicting a lenient punishment for the sake of a great warning. They are indeed fully sustaining the benevolent principles of the great men, and for this act of theirs, may the happiness (or good fortune) of Messrs Tsang and Woo never grow less.
