Excerpt from Journals Kept by Mr. Gully and Capt. Denham: During a Captivity in China in the Year 1842 December 5, 1843. - The Indian Mail, which has just arrived, has brought the Report of the Chinese authorities on the Inquiry they were ordered to make respecting the murder of the crews of the Nerbudda and Ann. This Inquiry was undertaken on the demand of Sir H. Pottinger. The Report is ridiculously defective in every respect but one; namely, in that which declares the authorities at Formosa to have obtained from the Emperor rewards and honours, by fraudulently and falsely representing the mode of the capture of the two unfortunate crews. The parties thus guilty are doomed to punishment. On this point it is plain enough, and so far it fully confirms the statements made in the Journals of Mr. Gully and Captain Denham. Those Journals will furnish, if the Chinese think fit to use them, the means of obtaining fuller information on other points. And it is even yet to be hoped, that they who caused the murder of so many of the captives, will be at least equally punished with those who won honours and rewards by false representations. The Chinese government should be pressed to make further inquiries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
