My sister-in-law was poisoned by means of ginger water by mg gromano, the old manservant and the girl to make some by which the girl was ill ever after. She died on the 50th day (29th December 1886). She attended my brother's funeral. We engaged two old women to carry her along.
When I went inside I saw wooden boxes broken open. They contained money, clothing, and jewellery. They took about 500 taels in money. The value of the rest of the property taken, clothing and jewellery, was about 500 taels.
Next morning I sent some men to report to the Shum Chak Magistrate. He came early in the morning. The magistrate first went to the ancestral temple and had some conversation with the Justices there, namely 順德大民容奇 Hæg justices. He then came to my brother's house, looked at it, and said, 'Go, he was killed by robbers?' The money referred to was next collected from a property owned by my brother and myself in Shum Chak. It had been collected about 10 days before.
When I say Shum Chak, I mean Shundak in Chinese territory. The Shum Chak Magistrate, Lenny, was in Tai Lam, the capital of Shum Chak. It is about 30 li from Jung K's. That was the only report I made to any Chinese official regarding the robbery.
The person I sent to make the report was A-king, who arrived at the Magistrate's home a little after evening, about the time of the evening meal. I had not taken my evening meal.
