The humble petition of U Ying Hap, Lo Yuk Tsing,

504

elders of Cheung Sha Wan, Li U Tsing, Lok Kwong Wing, Li Yan

Pin, Lok Kwong Iu, elders of Pak Shu Leung, and the inhabitants of all the villages in those districts praying that

as the geomantic influence of their neighbourhood will be

interfered with that another site may be selected for the

constructions of a carriage road whereby the Fung Shui of

the place may not be injuriously affected and the houses and

graves of your Petitioners may be protected and the wishes

of the people gratified. Your Petitioners have dwelt in this

land for more than a hundred years and all their villagers

have been law-abiding and have depended upon Fung Shui for

their peace and prosperity. Their district is now included

within the area leased to Great Britain and proclamations

have been already issued informing the people that a just

and benign government will be established. This filled your

Petitioners with feelings of extraordinary joys, as they

were able to indulge in their hope of sharing in the blessings

of British protection and peace. They were ready to yield

implicit obedience to all commands and have not committed

any offence notwithstanding this the proposed route of the

carriage road, situated behind the houses of the villages,

traverses the geomantic line along the hill at the back of the Petitioners' ancestral temple, and if this did not affect the Fung Shui of the place, the construction of the road

would not be objected to. But the matter is one of highest importance, involving life and death, for if the geomantic influences are once interfered with, great indeed will be the calamity which will befall your Petitioners, and their houses and ancestral temple will be rendered uninhabitable.

Your Petitioners submit that a humane government extends its benevolence to all and does not regard the people as if they were weed. Your Petitioners, therefore, present
