Mr Best is an

experienced officer

in the employ of the Chinese

Imperial Customs, and many of

his statements are

based

on

facts

within his knowledge and are

capable of direct proof.

Your Lordship will see from my

speech (the first 6 or 7 paragraphs)

on

4th

December, that what I

anticipated as probable is in

course of being fulfilled.

the

I have the honour to be,

My Lord.

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble Servant,

Willen Robinzon
