for it another method of Acting upon the Chinese conscience,
And better adapted to work An effect upon that Atheistic
and Carnal Conscience.
The Chinese magistrate
imposes the Menace of judicial torture a practice forbidden
by
our laws. I propose to substitute the dread of pains
And penalties; a dissuasive agreeable to British law,
And yet
as efficacious -
so I have found it, where
in examining or Cross-examining
Chinese witness, I have
had recourse to it
as far
as can
be desired. The Chinaman

is made to feel that there is
to practical difference – to him - between torture before giving
his testimony, and duress immediately after he has given it, — save that by telling a plain tale, he may escape the latter, in many cases where any escape from the former would have been denied
him.
What I suggest then
is the addition of the following
Clauses to that proposed by
