Canton is a mercantile Emporium for all

nations, and foreigners as well as Chinese ought to live quietly and endeavour together to enjoy the profits of trade. The Chinese must not be overbearing, and becaus bang natives insult strangers.

On 114 day 2nd month of the present year. (10th March 1845) The British Vice Consul Jackson

and others altogether three people,

were

and

came on shore and

walking about, when the villains Kwoashun

Fangaki robbed them of a gold watch and other articks, and took up stones to pell them, without however inflicting a wound. This is a shameless hankering ofter lucre, and contempt of the law, which cannot be overlooked. We have therefore sentenced Kwo ashun and Pangakei, according to our law against robbery to banishment for the full (period) and condemned the criminals Chin agan and others to a severe bastinado.

We
