He is further punished by having to pay the expenses of advertising in the Chinese and foreign newspapers in the Colony, three of each, for the period of one month, a notice which will bring before the public his sin in this defamation.

With regard to Lai Ming Chun, he is Indeed a bare-faced fellow, and one who has no regard for anything. On the 27th day of the 10th Moon fast year (24th November 1876), he slandered Messrs. Teangahun Yee and Woo Lin Tak by false. ly accusing them of being engaged in the nufarions 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 fo the Toun Wan Yat Po, (The Universal Circulat- ing Herald), so that Messrs Tsang, and Woo had thought of suing him before the local authorities, so that he might be punished for libelling people's character. For tunately for him, however, Lai Bling Chun learnt in time of his own wrong in slendering the charecter of good man, "And now he has voluntarily consented to pay the sum of $600, and to pay also into the the penalty of bearing the legal expenses in Undersigned have entered.
