Your Excellency,

I received this paper late last night. I have already reported this case to Your Excellency and the steps taken in connection with it. I informed you yesterday that the body had been recovered. I now attach a statement made before me by the son of the deceased and by a clansman, who discovered the body.

I have informed the districts concerned in the murder that $1,200 will have to be contributed towards the support of the widow to be divided as follows:-

Ha Ts'un (where the murderer resided and where those who caused the murder lived) $500 Kam Tin $150 Pat Heung $150 Shap Pat Heung $130 Ping Shan $150 $1,200

All the districts mentioned are members of the Council, in the Meeting House of which the murder was ordered. Representatives of all the districts were present when I announced my decision and they all acknowledged its justice, and promised to pay the money in a month. I am taking one or the widow's twin sons into my employ.
