It so happened, luckily, that Mars Trang and Woo's magnanimity proved to be as expansive as the sea and as sapacious as the ocean, and it was thus that the matter was put an end to. This is suffi- cient to show that Messrs Tsang and Shun are peaceful and quiet men, and that they have done a very good not. But Lai Ming Chun is a man who is very much conceited (lit. the night pedestrian who thinks a great deal of himself), and one who falsely life in a very mean position, and is not of Meters Teang Shun Yes and Woo Lina respectable family (lit. the descendant of Tak have been residing for more than ten the pure and white).

Unexpectedly, however, slander came upon them unawares, but of course, when virtue stands high, reprosok They were therefore falsely obarged by Lad-Ming Chun's letter, which was void of all truth, with selling people for emigration abroad. They are indeed la bouring under a false imputation front which It is now difficult for them to clear them selves. Our office, therefore, in punishing Lai Ming Chun for having done what he ought not to have done, orders him and he consents to pay the sum of $600, the amount of legal expenses; he has also by way of punishment to pay $26 into the Poor Box for the benefit of the Hongkong Poor. 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 publio his sin in this defamation, Reparations like these will, perhaps, allay in a meas sure the indignation which Mesars Teang

and Woo feel.

ed. Now Lai Ming Chun, as a man, is not one who is numbered among the gentry,, nor is his name pronounced by the lips of the illustrious. Yet he falsely dilates in slanderous language and spreads diffusedly by word of mouth stories to the- denilement and pollution of (the good name It was right of) Mesars Tsang and Woo. therefore that Mesars Trang and. Woo sought to sue him in the Courts of Justice, and he was on the ove of being punished by the utmost penalty of the law. Fortunately, however, Messe Teang and Woo's magna- nimity is expansive as the sea and as capa cious as the ocean, and they deal with people liberally; with that end in view, they therefore prefer, instead of puni shing him, as he rightly deserves, to for- give him of the enormous crime of which against the above Estate are requested he has been guilty. Having ceased to send in Particulars of the same to the litigation now, they have no resent

ment against any one, aud by so doing, they cherish the friendly tie that exista amongst the Chinese clans. They have also hewn that in doing this they are inflicting a lenient punishment for the sake of's groat warning. They are indeed fully sustaining the benevolent principles of the great men, and for this set of theirs, may the happiness (or good fortune) of Messrs Tuang and Woo never grow leas
