There is also a universal unwillingness to substantiate charges, from apprehension of consequences. The habits of all Chinamen, and of many of the Oriental races, have been formed in countries where the pure administration of justice is unknown, and bribes, "presents", and fees are exacted and given almost as a matter of course.
