I came to China the latter End of the year 1840, in the Steam Ship Nemesis, and served on board till July 1841, having been Engaged during whole of the operations in the Canton River, and for my services received from Captain Ellis my present appointment.
For a twelvemonth I lived in a mat shed exposed to all the vicissitudes of climate and suffered greatly in my health in consequence.
Prior to August, 1843, I requested Sir Henry Pottinger to relieve me from the magistracy, who promised to do so, but up to the present period I have continued to fulfil the duties. I have been on the Island 3½ years, therefore, one of the oldest residents. I have received no half pay during this period - my Income remains the same as it was at the Commencement.
I am at the head of a department, and I confidently hope to be paid accordingly.
