- Title:
- Diary and consultations of the Council in China
- Scope & Content:
- This afternoon Beau Khiqua & Tinqua came & acquainted us that the Anchasee (the acting Hoppo) desired to see us. The grievances we agree to complain of are as follows. That for many years last past we have been forced to pay a duty of 6 per cent & of late years another of 10 per cent, making together 16 per cent, which we apprehend to be without the Emperor's order or knowledge, & desire there a remittance thereof. That the presents of late years amounting to 1950 tales is likewise a heavy article & unknown to the Emperour, so desire that in future that may be remitted. That our compredores are forced to pay a large sum for their chop or liberty of serving our factories, & in order to regain the same they make us pay extravagantly for our provisions, which will, we hope, be redressed by issuing out a chop that they pay nothing for their chops in future. Early in the morning Mr Cowen came & acquainted us that the Chinaman who had promised to write the petition had disappointed him, he being afraid to do it.
