He had in his custody come 11 head centred but that no punishment had been awarded, as they had not been convicted & the evidence against them was not complete. He informed me that if they were found guilty they would be banished as slaves.

I showed the Brigadier some of the books which the Police seized in connexion with a burglary. He informed me that the society had intended to make a raid on gold & silver & goldsmiths' shops - if successful then they intended subsequently to cross the Foreign Banks into Canton where they contemplated making watchmaking foreign son ion.

He also assured me he had this on the best information, but that now happily everything had subsided, & there was no cause of any apprehension.

Whilst thanking him for the information and hoping he would give his timely notice of any future conspiracy, I informed the Brigadier that our trained & numerous police & well-disciplined soldiers would give a good account of the rebels if they attempted abong long, but that even if we had not these troops our fund vessels would have destroyed their boats before they could have left the Starbow.

He promised to see me again & desired me to thank His Excellency, the Administrator for the proclamations which I had sent him.

I have to,

J. Russell
