We said that we were poor, and that our relations were Mr. Mitchell and his interpreter.
Three days after words I got sick and wrote a letter to my friend Wong-ins, a coolie headman, who lives at East Point in a house of his own with his wife and family. He contracts for coolies and provides them when required. That was the letter which was produced and read to me in translation by Mr. Dick the other day, in the presence of the Colonial Secretary and Attorney General. I wrote it myself. It contained the whole truth.
The hope of pardon mentioned in that letter was held out to me (five or six days after Mr. Mitchell's visit before mentioned) by the Looking-glass, Mr. Aying. I understood him to say that, if the money was paid, Mr. Mitchell could have my name put upon a list for pardon. Those same hopes, however, had also been raised in my mind before that, before I wrote that letter.
There was a report among the prisoners in general, that the Looking-glass had said so two or three days after Mr. Mitchell's visit. Since I wrote that letter I have heard nothing either from Mr. Mitchell or my relations on the subject. Nobody has questioned me on these matters since the Colonial Secretary and Attorney General came here.
