Mr. Antonio Camaretta. Collector of Customs &c.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:

‘Mr. Antonio Camaretta. Collector of Customs &c.’
Is by birth a Portuguese of Goa. He has been above 30 years in the Burmese service, and is the present ‘Akouk-Woon’, or Collector of Customs at Umeerapoora, besides holding some office in the Palace connected witli the Royal Treasury.
Mr. Camaretta is a great favourite with the King, whose full confidence he appears to enjoy; and was hardly less kindly regarded by the members of the Mission. Whilst maintaining his faith and attachment to the King of Ava as a servant, he took pleasure in declaring he was not less a subject of Queen Victoria. On the breaking out of the last rebellion, when he lost the whole of his property, he was, with Mr. Spears, a prisoner in irons for the space of nine months.
