recent events in Canton.

P.3.

I have the honour to be.

Sir,

Your lionour's most

obedient servant,

CFD Lugare

Governor,

nor,&c.

I have just received four Honour's letter

of this date on this subject, and I shall be obliged if you will be good enough to supply me with a copy of the sun ing up

which you addressed to the jury. Your lionour says t at "the weak point about the prosecution was that there did not 2 pear to be

any reason to suppose that the prisoners took any very active

part in pushing the sale: nor was there any evidence that the

Master of the Shop was the author of the poetry". In view, how-

-ever of the terms of section 2 of Ordinance 15 of 1907, I do

not understand why proof of these points was required.
