that it would be far better that they should forgive him, but inflict a small penalty by way of a small warning.

It so happened, luckily, that Messrs Tsang and Woo's magnanimity proved to be as expansive as the sea and as capacions as the ocean, and it was thus that the matter was pat an end to. This is suffi- cient to show that Memes Teang and Shan are peaceful and quiet men, and that they have done a very good act. But Lai Ming Chun is a man who is very much conceited (it, the night pedestrian who thinks a great deal of himself), and one who falsely dilates in satire and raillery. He began life in a very mean position, and is not of a respectable family (lit, the desoondant of the pure and white). While in a xenial position, he, moreover, offends his supe- riors. Therefore it would not be arbitrary were he to be banished beyond the frontions, bor would it be too much were he to be put to the sword (fit. under the aze). Now that he is only fined in so smail a sum, it is indeed his good fortune that he has escaped greater consequences.

ed. Now Laf Ming Chun, as a man, is not one who in nambered among the gentry, nor is his name pronounced by the lips of the illustrious. Yet he falsely dilates in alauderous language and spreads diffusedly by word of mouth stories to the deflement and pollution of (the good namię of) Mecara Tsang and Woo. It was right therefore that Monats Toang and to sought to see him in the Courts of Justice, and he was on the eve of being punished by the utmost penalty of the law. Fortunately, however, Messrs Tsang and Woo's magna- nimity is expansivo as the sea and as cape- cious as the ocean, and they deal with people liberally; with that end in view, they therefore prefer, instead of punt shing him, as he rightly deserves, to for- give him of the enormous crime of which he has been guilty. Having ceased litigation now, they have no resent-tender is reserved. ment against any one, and by so doing, they cherish the friendly tie that exists amongst the Chinese clans. They have also shown that in doing this they are inflicting a lenient punishment for the sake of a great warning. They are indeed fully sustaining the bonevolent principles of the great men, and for this act of theirs, may the happiness (or good fortune) of Meaars Teang and Woo never grow less.
