Note from M. Butzlaff to Sir John Davis, Bart., dated 16th February 1848.

I have the honour to report to your Excellency, that having by the direction of the Colonial Secretary written to the Heangshan Magistrate, to urge the apprehension of a servant of the Paymaster of 95th Regiment and the recovery of

200 Dollars which he had stolen, the

I

money

was

sent to-day, and I forwarded the same to Mr. Hillier. This promptness is the effect of Your Excellency's

in the

measures in-

former

instance, and will go far to deter evil-doers. The clan of the offender, fearing a judicial

prosecution, sent the

money

at once.

(Signed) Charles Gutzlaff.
