Chinese along the coast of that great Empire which may be dangerous to our commerce, I suppose the attempt must be too gigantic to succeed, the better course aimed at, to Hand them over to the fate of their own incitement. But I am not satisfied that this is the case here. In Jaya the property plundered was not British nor was there any connection with "the British form". It may be one of those cases. But, the depositions say this craft sailed from Penang, one from Malacca, one from Singapore: I suspect it touched at all three.

Wilach calls himself "a sailor" working at Malacca, which in apprehending was his actual function. The E. I. C. An His cargo was loading at our ports, whether actually with British goods or not, was brought to a Chinese port, and piratically seized off the latter. It was brought by the pirates into Hong Kong. I feel much hesitation in forming a new opinion differing from the one before, but entering into the case, I find the facts are hardly explained and difficult to concur with him that surch matter should be handed over to the Chinese authorities, however difficult the trial might be.
