Reply of the San On Magistrate to the above petition.

1

The lease of the Kau Lung area has been sanctioned by Imperial Authority and the boundary has been delimited according to the Tsung Li Yamen's original map. It has been agreed with the foreign officials that the people will be exceptionally well treated, that house and land will not be forcibly purchased, that graves will not be removed, that the manners and customs of the people will remain undisturbed. The Viceroy and Governor of Canton have already issued a proclamation informing you as is on record. As to the truth or otherwise of the statements in the petition, Petitioners must wait until a thorough enquiry has been made and steps taken accordingly.
