never was, anything else but a paid agent and uninterested employs. Alany of thren Macheens transnota large amount of brokerage business withous asuming the title or reputation of regular brokers, but to the eye of the foreign merchant the whole position of a Chinese Mucheen studiously veiled in such a haze of scurity that in 1806, when the ques tion arose of introducing here the system of sworn European brokers, there was a confict of opinion among the most ex- perienced English merchants of Hong Long as to the question whether thers were any Chinese brokers in this Colony or not. At a meeting of the Chamber: of Commerce, the bend of one English fra mid there was no such class, as hinese brokers, that he knew of deulers. who bought goods, but, as these same dealere both cleared and paid for their purcbuses and claimed no brokerage, they could not be regarded as anything but principals. The head of another English firm concurred in this remark, adding that, although he was in the habit of selling to the Chinese, he had nover yer puid brokerage on such sales. But the head of a third English firm contended that Chinese brukers did exist, that he bed had transactions with them, and moreover that leasrs Jardine, Matheson & Co, did business through Chinese brokers,
