(Nal Tung) and Laế Chi Wo and includes Song Láng Tau, Wo Hang

Kang Hati, Kang To, and Lán Ma Hang, that these places are separated from the Kau Lung district by two arms of the sea

and many ranges of hills, that the annexation also includes

the waters of Deep Bay and Mira Bay and the territory

between them covering an area of several hundred Li, that

the dimensions of this annexation differ widely from those

of the Kau Lung district, that the leaving of the Khu Ling

district might be allowed as an exceptional case but that

the occupation of the territory outside the Kau Fang

with its large population and numerous villages cannot be

quietly accepted that if the foreigners are allowed to do

just as they like not only will we all become foreigners

which will be a great disgrace to us all but it is to be

feared that excessive taxation and an oppressive government

will bring on us evils without end, that proof of such

excessive taxation and oppression is easily ascertainable from

Hongkong, that there we have is levied every quarter a tax

of $1.10, that there it is the custom to make vessels

clearing pay dues according to their size, that if a vessel

anchors temporarily it has to obtain papers for which a tax

has to be paid, that fines are inflicted for the breach of

any law or regulations, that some years ago a poll tax was

levied on the Chinese repeatedly and that it was only tempor-

arily stopped because the poor combined and refused to make

payment, that worst of all when the plague epidemic broke

out some years ago the Sanitary Board made strict search for

sick people and that when they found any Chinaman who was

thin and delicate they falsely declared that he was sick and

forcibly removed him to the Board when they cruelly dosed him
