Despatch from Seu to the Council of Government of Macao.
Seu, Governor General of Kwang-tung and Kwang-st, &c. In order to satisfy the question relative to the murder of Governor Amaral, I proceed to state as follows: Sen-chi- leong, the real assassin, having been first apprehended, he
was examined and executed. Afterwards his accomplices Ko-Alon and Li-Apau were detected, the latter of whom was killed when about to be seized, and Ko-Ahon also was captured, and made a confession, a copy of which was enclosed
in a despatch to the Noble Council, as is on record. Inqui- ries were in the meantime going on after two individuals, surnamed respectively Chou and Chan, who had escaped; and the mandarin of Kwang-chou has now reported to me that repeated and strict searches were inade to discover the said criminals, but as it was thought probable that they might have taken refuge with the Pirates and joined them, a description of these men was ordered to be drawn up, in order that when the Pirates should be apprehended it might serve to identify them. The mandarin lately brought from Kwei shan-hien one Chang-Asin, alias Chou-Asin, who con- jointly with Chou-Ayau and Chen-Afat had gone to join the Pirates. As there were reasons to suspect his complicity, he was repeatedly interrogated, and lie deposed that he knew Chou-Ayau and Chen-Afat, who has well as himself had been workmen at Macao; that one Sen-chi-leong, known
to him, having determined to assassinate Amaral, to revenge himself, had bribed Ko-shon and Li-Apau to assist him in his design, and had arranged with them, in concert with Chou-Ayau and Chen-Afat, that they should prevent persons from approaching. All agreed to go together.
Hearing of the strict search that was making for them, they fled to Hiang-kang, a seaport, when they joined the Pirates. Having afterwards fallen in with the English, the said Chou-Aynu and Chen- A fat were killed in action, and he the deponent was apprehended by the soldiers of the government (Chinese) and sent to Canton.
This deposition then, having been compared with those of Shen-chi-leong and Ko-Ahon, they were found to agree, and the two men who ran away are thus clearly identified as accomplices,
With regard to the said criminal, who confessed to having committed piracies, which is in itself a crime punishable capitally, as he was an accomplice of the other delinquents
in preventing people from approaching at the time of the murder, his guilt is still graver. Therefore, besides directions being given for the reiteration of the examinations, in order that his trial might take place, the deposition of the said criminal was transmitted for my information.
From this it appears that the principal accomplices in the crime being six, of whom one was drowned, two were killed by the English soldiers, and the remaining three apprehend- ed; all therefore are discovered. Clou-Asin has already been committed for trial, that he may afterwards be rigor- ously punished.
All this I make known to the Noble Council, sending at the same time, a copy of the confession of Chou-Asia.
Taukwang, 29th year, 11th moon, 6th day, (19th De- cember, 1849, )
Confession of Chang-Asin, alias Chou-Asin,
I lived at Macao jointly with Chou-Ayau and Chen-Afat, where we earned our livelihood by acting as workmen.
An acquaintance of ours named Sen-chi-leong, on account of
the Portuguese Governor Amaral having made roads with- out the Campo gates, by which work the graves of his an- gestors were destroyed, was so enraged thereat that he deter- mined to murder Amaral, in order to satisfy his revenge. For the purpose of assisting him in his design, he bribed Ko- Ahon and Li-Apau, and charged me, together with Chou- Ayau und Chen- A fat, to act as guards on the occasion, so as tu prevent people from approaching. All of us agreed to this, and on the 5th day of the 7th moon Sen-chi-leong having beard that Amaral would go out for recreation, he proceeded with us to waylay him, Towards evening, when it was twi- light Sen-chi-leong seeing Amaral approach on horseback, went up to him under the pretence that he had a petition to hand him, and said that he had a complaint to prefer; and whilst Amaral wus stretching out his hand to receive the paper, Sen-chi-leong drew a sharp knife he had concealed in the bandle of his umbrella and commenced stabbing him
In the arm and shoulder, until he fell from his horse, when he immediately cut off his head and hand, and we ran away, each his own way, Chou-Ayau, Chen-Afat, and myself, having afterwards heard that strict search was being made for us, we filed to Hiang-kang, a seaport, froin whence we went over to the pirates, whilst with whom Chou-Ayau and Chen. Afat were killed in engagements we had with the English Buldiers, and I was afterwards seized by the soldiers of Government and taken to Canton, I pray therefore for
mercy,

That four Memorialist both by letterand by a pitition. to the then Governor Mr Davis strongly protested and remonstrated against this proceeding but without avail the only result f his said remonstrances being the receipt of a letter da tid the rigth Seely One thousand eight hundred and forty Four and sent to him by the then Colonial Secretary, and in which letter the following paragraph appears.

That four memorialistuv accordance with the directions contained in the said letter appointed I.A.

It is necessary to remark that ne record of Deaths has been kept by the Police during the year, and that only fourteen deaths have been specified in the beneus Returns for Victoria, doubtle's many more occurred, as the population is very migratory, and of most who left the Colony and died on the macisland, no record or remembrance would be left. The number of dead bodies found exposed, and buried by the Police is a
proof of the friendless state of a great of na part of the Chines Population, and it is reasonable to presume that all who had the means would in serious sickness remove themselves to their native places.

From the length of time he has been in this Climate, and the effects of different attacks of illuen, his constitution has, for the last two gradually undermined; and of later his glandular system has become so disorganized, no to demand his removal to a temperate climate bofore the hot season sets in. I therefore deem it necessary to recommend that he obtain leave of abrence for at least eighteen months, and return to hurope with a view to his permanent recovery and rectoration to health.
