Of course he had often to speak for Captain Palmer (who does not speak Chinese) with informers, but he had no authority to look out for them in the sense of searching for such, nor were any inducements offered to him to do so, for any special reward given him when a seizure was made. It was possible for him to take such a course himself, and perhaps he may have done so, but his doing so was a purely personal and wholly unrequired proceeding and one for which he personal ly is to blame, if any one, not our system.
