The Humble Petition of U U Kong, Li Chan Pai, Lai Tsun Un, Lan Po Tsun, Wong Wing Puk, Lan Kwok Lin, and other gentry and elders of the Ting Kok and Shun Wan division sheweth that your petitioners feel real pleasure in yielding true submission and in welcoming the Imperial troops.
Your petitioners have always been law-abiding people and were well acquainted with the Convention leasing the territory with which they were perfectly satisfied. But bad characters from the larger districts of the territory misled people by inventing rumours and availed themselves of the opportunity to stir up the people to disorder to resist the Imperial troops. Your Petitioners' villages being small and powerless could do nothing but remain silent. Now however that the troops have arrived your petitioners are saved from their great danger which is a source of unbounded joy to them.
They therefore now humbly approach your tribunal and humbly pray that clemency may be extended to them. They will hereafter act in strict obedience to all British laws, and the inhabitants of the various villages will at once obey whatever commands may be issued, and your petitioners will ever pray.
The following is a list of the villages and the surnames of the different clans residing therein.
Ting Kok, Lam Li, Pang U Wan Lo Cheung Leung Yun Lang Mi, Li Chan, Cheung Ng.
Tai Mi Tuk Wong
Lo Tai, Tin Yan, Leung Shan
