The humble petition of Tang Wong Shi, aged 45 years who lives in the village of Sek Hong in the Ha Tsun district. Your petitioner begs to humbly present a petition in the matter of the murder of a messenger whose corpse has been thrown into the water which wrong still being unredressed. Your petitioner prays that the guilty parties may be punished without mercy.
Your petitioner's husband, Tang A Cheung returned from Hong Kong having been instructed by the British Authorities there to proceed to Un Long and surrounding districts. Contrary to all anticipations the local bully and tiger-like member of the gentry Tang Tsing Sz and others ordered Tang A Nin to seize my husband and take him to the Meeting House at Un Long where he was beaten and shot and his body thrown into the water. This grievous wrong is still unredressed. But now that the British soldiers have come to this country this wrong will be redressed and the doers of it punished and justice done.
Your petitioner humbly kneels before you and prays that you will order your soldiers to institute a search so that the murderers may be arrested, the body recovered and the guilty dealt with without mercy so that this wrong may not remain unpunished. For this your petitioner will be grateful for generations to come.
The following is a list of those implicated.
