The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuckel, Charles Kuckel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY... NOVEMBER 9, 1833 SOME IRRIGATION HISTORY With a large majority of the people of the community arrayed against it, and with indignation meetings held to protest against its continuance further, to say nothing of the "dynamite circulars" addressed to the members of the board, the irrigation district, called into being by nine-tenths of the voters of the town and vicinity as the one thing needful to correct the wrongs in our water system then existing, seems to have killed into evil ways, and, called into life as with a blaze of glory, seems to be going out in a unanimous voice of execration. While we have all along thought, and still think that the district system is the correct solution of the irrigation problem, still there is no question that it has proved a flat failure here, and the observant critic will say that it has served only to complicate our water troubles, and to leave them in a worse muddle than at any time in years. The district has not gone ahead with the development of our water facilities or kept pace commensurate with the progress of the community. The ditches are just as bad, the reservoirs unbuilt and the service altogether as unsatisfactory as at the time when, four years ago, the district was voted into existence to relieve the people of the evils with which they were then suffering. The district was thought to be at once the solution of our water question. The management of the old company had been unsatisfactory. Going into court with the speeches and untenable claim that our ditches should run full of water at all seasons of the year, without reference to the wants of the irrigators on the other side, we were reversed in the Supreme Court, and left where we were in the beginning, with a $10,000 fee to be paid a Los Angeles lawyer, and laying the foundation for the present load of debt with which the stockholders are burdened. It was told the old company was mismanaged. We had, after the settlement of the territory on the other side of the river, been awarded half the water in the river, although previously our ditches had been permitted to run full at all seasons. The water in the river began to show the effects of the drain upon it. It became scarce. Added to this was another matter that worked us an injustice. After delivering the Yorbas the 300 inches GOLDTHWAITE GOES FREE Great Surprise to Most of the People. The Case Tried With Closed Doors, But We Give the Testimony Just the Same—Judge McCoy Holds That While Goldthwaite Might be Guilty. There is Not Sufficient Evidence to Convict Him—Mrs. Goldthwaite Swears Her Son was in Bed When the Shots Were Fired—Jack Landell Interviews a Witness. The trial of Fred Goldthwaite on a charge of burglary came up before Judge McCoy of Westminster, sitting in Judge Pierce's court in this city, last Monday. A large crowd had gathered in the courtroom and on the sidewalk to listen to the evidence, but were all "fired out," on account of the defendant asking that the case be tried with closed doors. Messrs. Chynoweth and De Long appeared for the defense, and the people were represented by Assistant District Attorney Meody and Mr. Melrose. Amidst the conflicting testimony which the examination brought to light, there was a unanimity of recollection, and concord of opinion, upon some points that deserve special recognition. It seemed to be without dispute that Goldthwaite and Larsen, with a number of convivial friends, found very cheerful the hours from nine to twelve on Wednesday night of the robbery; that they did not confine to any one place the gift of their presence, but with magnanimous generosity graced several of our ten saloons; that Larsen seemed well provided with Great Grover's favorite metal; that as a gentle, mental stimulus "hog dice" was sorted to, and, with a delicate sense of the fitness of things which did high credit to their artistic faculties, bodily stimulants were freely circulated in perfect harmony with the mental; that the exhilaration resulting proved too great a burden for at least one member of the company, and the prop of an extra arm on each side was needed to assist nature's original supports, now uncertain in their wobbblings and exhibiting signs of collapse. Although the case was tried with closed doors, we give the gist of the testimony in full, omitting repotitions and other unimportant corroborative detail. DIRECT EXAMINATION OF H. P. LARSEN. Mr. Melrose. Q.-Did you see the defendant, Alfred Goldthwaite, on the 25th of October? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-Where? A.-I met him at Fritz's saloon in the Steadman, who was Marshal here, and Steadman standing by the gate, and I recognized your gun, thought you shooting at a burglar, and so got dressed myself, and asked me what I about it, and I said the man's cloth dark and his hat white, a median man, and if Fred Goldthwaite had got back there from the time Bane him, I would be satisfied it was his next morning I measured the track man I shot at Larsen's and measured last track, and followed the tracks road of the Santa Fe and around places inside of Goldthwaite's gate. Q.-Did you see any tracks leading from that house? A.-No sir. Was there any other one in the pigeon black clothes and a white hat. A.-No sir. Q.-You speak of going to Bus house after the robbery; why did you? A.-I went there on account of you said the night before—he was afraid mentee would come back and rob Law. Q.-How often did Goldthwaite remark he was afraid Bustamen come back and rob Larsen? A.-Two or three times. Q.-He was the only one who remarked, was he? A.-Yes sir, the only one I heard. Q.-Was he the only one who could go home, too, that night? A.-Yes sir. Q.-How was it possible for you these tracks next morning a were made? A.-There had been rain and thunder was soft; he went through soft grapt in one place, near the section had tedious work to trace it, but at this time we could walk along an steps way ahead of us. Q.-What do you know, if about Larsen having money in his hand? No such thing what he did not like Larsen might think in the morning did not get it all back. Q.-Were any remarks made present in response to your suggestion than that made by Benz? A.-Goldthwaite said, let him a man gets drunk he ought to anyway. DIRECT EXAMINATION OF FRED GOLDTHWAITE. Mr. Chynoweth: Q.-(After this ary questions and answers.) Goldthwaite, commence there at and state what you did and the f case as near as you can, until you Larsen's house sometime toward plain statement of all that you did a time. A.-I had shaken dice at Fritz' little there; wont over to hobliness stayed there a while, then came o off his place and stood a while. On off sidewalk into the street. preme Court, and left where we were in the beginning, with a $10,000 fee to be paid a Los Angeles lawyer, and laying the foundation for the present load of debt with which the stockholders are burdened. It was felt the old company was mismanaged. We had, after the settlement of the territory on the other side of the river, been awarded half the water in the river, although previously our ditches had been permitted to run full at all seasons. The water in the river began to show the effects of the drain upon it. It became scarce. Added to this was another matter that worked us an injustice. After delivering the Yorbas the 300 inches of water day and night to which they were entitled, they turned much of it during the day, all of it at night, back into river, and this stream was taken up by the ditches on the other side and used by the irrigators while we suffered the loss of it. This unfair and unsalled for state of things, which it was believed the district would rectify, and which it has served to abolish entirely, was a great incentive to the people of the valley in voting to create it. We all of us remember the first vote taken upon the organization of the district. Called with the purpose of including the Yorba water, so that it might be acquired by condemnation and consequently controlled, what was the surprise of the electors when seeing the proclamation as issued by the Los Angeles Supervisors—Orange county not being then in existence—to learn that while it had been expressly stipulated and agreed upon to include the Yorbas, they had at the last moment been left out, and a strip of undesirable country lying above the ditch on the Olinda ranch, substituted in their place. Thus formed the district was overwhelmingly defeated at the polls, although Mr. W. H. Bailey, proprietor of the land thus surreptitiously sought to be included in the district, was the chief worker to carry the election and spent money freely in town with that end in view. A year and a day elapsed before the district came again before the people, and during this time the trials and disappointments, and sore defeats in trying to bring the question to a vote are matters of local history that are probably not yet forgotten. The statement had been made that the valley irrigators would be gray headed before they would ever again see the district voted upon. First came the Shinn Haseco, only to be followed by the Williams & McKinley律 which was as bad as the other. The Directors seemed always to run away with the idea that no one but a Los Angeles attorney would do, and when finally it was found that the attorney of the opponents of the district—Stephen M. Whlte—had defeated and routed our lawyers at every turn, and when it was said the district would never b° formed, the board turned to the eminent legal firm of Brunson, Wilson & Lammo in their plight. Senator White had a foeman worthy of his steel and was beaten on the grounds where he was formerly invincible, and the district election came on again. But this eminent firm of lawyers came high, and their salary was fixed at $5,000 per year. Rather steep for us, but they accomplished what the other lawyers could not do, and when Mr. Melrose. Q.-Did you see the defendant, Alfred Goldthwaite, on the 25th of October? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-Where? A.-I met him at Fritz's saloon in the evening about 9 o'clock. Q.-And when did you last see him on that day? Did you leave him there? A.-No, sir; I last saw him at my home. Q.-What time? A.-Cannot say, pretty close to 12; that is near as I can state. Q.-In the night time? A.-Yes. Q.-Did you have any money in your pockets when you went to bed? A.-Yes. Q.-How much? A.-About $243. Q.-What kind of coin? A.-$100 bill. Q.-Where? A.-In my hip pocket, and then $140 on more in my pants pocket, and then about $3.50 in my vest pocket. Q.-Was this money in your pants pocket gold? A.-Gold, and one or two dollars in silver I think. Q.-Was that in your pocket when you went to bed? A.-Yes. Q.-Did you find it next morning when you got up? A.-I did not. Q.-Did you look for it? A.-Yes, I looked for it. Some one came and woke me and asked me if I thought I was robbed the night before, and I thought not, and went and looked in my pockets and found the $100 bill all right and that loose change in my vest pocket, but it was the money in my pants pocket that was taken. When I undressed and went to bed the money was there all right. During the night I woke and happened to think my back door was unlocked and got up and locked it. Q.-You found it unlocked when you got up? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-What woke you? A.-I don't know. Q.-How long after you went to bed? A.-Could not say positive; fifteen minutes possibly, maybe two hours; cannot be sure. Q.-(On the redirect examination.) You said in Fritz's saloon you took out this whole handful of money—the seven gold pieces and so on! A.-Yes, sir. Q.-Did you display it in your hand? A.-Yes. Q-Who was there at the time; was the defendant? A.-Yes, he had his face turned towards me. I made a mistake and took out a $20 gold piece first, and I wanted a silver dollar, and then I put my hand down and took out the whole handful and exposed it to the light. The cross-examination was conducted at considerable length, but in the main was simply the direct testimony in detail. DIRECT EXAMINATION OF J. L. ADAMS. Mr. Melrose. Q.-(After preliminary questions and answers). State to the Court under what circumstances you saw the prosecuting witness, Larsen, and the defendant, Goldthwaite, on Oct. 25th? A.-It was along about 12 o'clock—somewhere near that time—that I saw them at Robinson's saloon. They were shaking disgreat with the mental; that the exhilaration resulting proved too great a burden for at least one member of the company, and the prop of an extra arm on each side was needed to assist nature's original supports, now uncertain in their wobblings and exhibiting signs of collapse. Although the case was tried with closed doors, we give the gist of the testimony in full, omitting repetitions and other unimportant corroborative detail. DIRECT EXAMINATION OF H. P. LARSEN. Mr. Melrose. Q.-Did you see the defendant, Alfred Goldthwaite, on the 25th of October? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-Where? A-I met him at Fritz's saloon in the evening about 9 o'clock. Q-and when did you last see him on that day? Did you leave him there? A-No, sir; I last saw him at my home. Q-What time? A-Cannot say, pretty close to 12; that is near as I can state. Q-In the night time? A-Yes. Q-Did you have any money in your pockets when you went to bed? A-Yes. Q-Did you find it next morning when you got up? A-I did not. Q-Did you look for it? A-Yes, I looked for it.

The cross-examination was conducted at considerable length, but in the main was simply the direct testimony in detail. DIRECT EXAMINATION OF FRED GOLDTHWAITE. Mr. Chynoweth: Q.-(After this question and answers.) Goldthwaite, commence there at and state what you did and then off the sidewalk into the street. Went up Los Angeles street to house, put him on front porch both the doors; they were looke ht for his key; he made no answer there a while then went around to door, opened the screen of tha walked in and lit a match; it was kitchen; he was too heavy, and I as to help me; he got hold of one side of tha other; and we went arround through his house and laid bed. He was trying to get up; I ing him down with my hand on some one put out tha light; I who; Adams was standing outside tha came out last; I shut three doors of bedroom; door yo mu hall and tha outside door; wo we outside of tha house and stood tha Bancroft said come down where tied and I will take你 home right; I came down to tha hitched and said to Adams isn't i t bed? Ho said yes; it is pretty! I will take a walk around an Bancroft said let us go around way. We drove around tha stairs live on; there we stopped; pro minutes, listened; did not hear droye down Olive to my gate there and talked a few minutes; stood on tha sidewalk, turned w ta tha sidewalk and in tha back gate. Q-Where did you go when yo t tha yard of your house? A-Into back part of tha ped there a minute and went into tha q-Go to bed then? A-Yes, sir. Q-How long were you there? A-Aldo not get up until past 9 Q-Were you in your bedroom time Bancroft left you, all tha t o'clock next morning? A-Yes, sir, Q-Are you Deputy Constable A-Yes, sir, Q-How long have you been D stable? A-One and one half years. There was no cross examination Mrs. Armbuster testified that who ran by her house tha night glary was a large, fat man with a Adams' testimony had been tha glar was an under-sized man what. By Mr. Melrosse. Now don't llarge man with tha black nightwatchman Adams after tha A-Well, if I must say it, I well Q-Have you conversed wit about tha case? A-Yes, sir; with Marshal St Nightwatchman Adams. Q-Anyone else? A-Yes, sir; with Jack Lander Frank Armbuster testified that told him tha (Adams), in tha Marshal Steadman, had told him not run by his house on tha night glary. Both Adams and Steadman te would do, and when finally it was found that the attorney of the opponents of the district—Stephen M. White—had defeated and routed our lawyers at every turn, and when it was said the district would never be formed, the board turned to the eminent firm of Brunson, Wilson & Lamme in their plight, Senator White had a foeman worthy of his steel and was beaten on the grounds where he was formerly invincible, and the district election came on again. But this eminent firm of lawyers came high, and their salary was fixed at $5,000 per year. Rather steep for us, but they accomplished what the other lawyers could not do, and when finally the second election came on, with the boundaries drawn as originally mapped out, in May, 1889, the district was adopted as unanimously as it had been defeated before. The light of those arrayed against the district was transferred from the Supervisor's room to the courts, and the main reason why progress has not been made commensurate with the growth of the community, is directly attributable to these suits and matters in litigation. Out of $30,000 collected in taxes, a great portion of it has gone to pay lawyers, and we are not yet out of the woods. In fact we are getting deeper in every day. Next Saturday Judge Brouseau's demurrer comes up in the Superior Court, if Judge Towner will have time to hear it, and if that should be won there is still another suit hanging fire in the courts against the district. While great things were hoped to come from the district, it has brought little but disappointments, until now the taxpayers are arrayed almost unanimously against it. But its lack of progress has been due to the obstacles cast in its path, not on account of any demerits of the law. The question of the validity of the recently imposed tax is in the courts. It shall be decided that it is illegal and void, then the district will have received its death blow. At the same time, it might as well be remembered that if it be sustained, the district being a legally constituted body, the tax will have to be paid. We shall see what we shall see. Although Judge McCoy of Westminster may try a burglary case with closed doors, and the irrigation district may meet in executive session to discuss the demurrer to the complaint in the tax levy, yet we print the news. Full reports of both proceedings will be found in another column. Mr. Melrose. Q.—(After preliminary questions and answers). State to the Court under what circumstances you saw the prosecuting witness, Larson, and the defendant, Goldthwaite, on Oct. 25th? A. It was along about 12 o'clock—somewhere near that time—that I saw them at Robinson's saloon. They were shaking dice and drinking. Q. Who? A. Fred Goldthwaite, Hugh Bancroft, Larson, the two Bentz boys and Bustimento. I came down there with Charlie Wommer. The saloon was closed but they were out there and Larsen was pretty drunk. Then they concluded to take Larsen home, and when we got there the front door of Larsen's place was closed. We got Larsen on the front steps but he could not get a key to unlock the door and so Fred Goldthwaite went around to the back door and opened it. I don't know whether it was locked or not. Q. Who requested him? A. Nobody that I know of. He went in and started to take Larsen in, but Larsen being full he could not manage him and asked me to help, and the other boys went in with us and put him on the bed, and we all came out, and Fred was the last to come out, and Fred said he put him inside so Bustimento would not rob him. Q. Was that remark addressed generally or to you? A. To me as I took it; then we came up to the corner of Los Angeles street. The two Bentz boys went home, that left Bancroft, Fred and I. Bancroft said to Fred my rig is right down here, walk down with me and I will take you home. Fred said no, it was but a little way and he could walk. Bancroft insisted upon his riding home and I walked down to the rig with them, and Fred spoke to me and said it was pretty late and cold and he didn't think it was of any use my staying out later. Q. You were night watchman at that time? A. Yes, sir. Then after a while I went down to the French saloon. There were some dogs barking and I threw some rocks at them, and after a while I slipped up to Larsen's house and heard some one walking and supposed it was Larsen, and didn't want him to see me hanging around there at that time of night, so I stepped back of the barn; heard some one open the door and come off the steps; could only see him about two steps; then I went out and told him to stop. I saw it wasn't Larsen and I called on him to stop; then he broke into a run; ran towards Dunlap's place opposite to Larsen's, and I was afraid of shooting through the house, but as he turned the corner I shot at him, and when I saw him again he was very near the right hand corner of Del Campo Hotel. I turned back for Adams' testimony had been taken by Adams' under-sized man who hat. By Mr. Melrose. Now, don't the large man with the black nightwatchman Adams after the case? A. Well, if I must say it, I think Q. Have you conversed with about the case? A. Yes, sir; with Marshal Steadman Nightwatchman Adams. Q. Anyone else? A. Yes, sir; with Jack Landers. Frank Armbuster testified that told him that he (Adams), in the Marshall Steadman, had told him not run by his house on the night glary. Both Adams and Steadman testified this was not so. Marshal Steadman testified that lowed the burglar's footsteps from Larsen's house to Goldthwaite to Goldthwaite next morning in bed; his shoes were all though he had gone through a patrol arrested him on the following day. Mrs. Goldthwaite, mother of the testified that when she heard that her son's room and four bed. After argument by the attorney McCoy decided that while McCoy might have been implicated in this feature was not sufficient evidence. The features of the case which most comment are that Justice McOy to hold the defendant, Jack Landers interview with Mrs. Armbuster, as is reported, that Judge McCoy evening before the trial at Judge House. This trial is at the beginning of The gang of burglaries who have in city for some time past must be punished. It transpires that two unpaid which intervened to detain J.Hoge of Virginia, the new Consul at San Francisco on the eve of his visit for his post a few days ago necessitate his return to Washington an explanation to the Presider State Department. Just before for San Francisco he went to a tailor and ordered several suits and left without settling for this matter was brought to the attendant Cleveland, who is diplomat to believe even an American Council pay promptly for his wearing apparel there are other charges pending at the State Department, these are gardened seriously, and it is sure stated that when Hoge has made his tailor he will be permitted to journey to Amoy.

FOSSEK, The following entertaining letter from Mrs. Carl Fossek, formerly of this city, but at present residing in St. Nicalau, Austria, came duly to hand last Saturday evening, and we are pleased to give it a place in our columns: EDITOR GAZETTE.—Dear Sir: This is the first opportunity since our arrival in Europe that presents itself of making good Mr. Fossek's promise to write to you. As we are not familiar enough with the English language to write a letter properly, I have had to ask a friend (a well-known and esteemed lady of Anaheim, Miss Amy Hartmann) to assist me a little, and hope that you will kindly overlook any mistakes that I may make. After a most delightful voyage across the Atlantic we arrived safely in Europe and soon found ourselves in our old home in Hungary, which I had always yearned to see again, but strange to say I do not like it here as well as I thought I would. And I must confess that I feel a sort of homesickness for America and a desire to again be among my Anaheim friends, who always treated me so kindly and showed me so much attention. But, of course, we must now be contented here, until our son Oscar is of age and through school; then we may return to America," the land of the free, the home of the brave," glorious country. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue; sish, bang, bang! (That is what Mias Amy says!) It is a great pleasure to me to again have my son with me, who I found has grown very tall, and he makes good progress in school. I have also lately been traveling around the country visiting my nearest and dearest relatives who are all reinforced to see... A.—Goldthwaite said, let him keep it; if man gets drunk he ought to be robbed anyway. Mr. Chynoweth: Q.—(After the preliminaries and answers.) Now Mr. Goldthwaite, commence there at the saloon and state what you did and the facts of the case as near as you can, until you arrived at Marsen's house sometime toward morning, a sinister statement of all that you did during that time. A.—I had shaken dice at Fritz's, drank a little there; went over to Robinson's and layed there a while, then came out in front of his place and stood a while. Larsen fell off the sidewalk into the street. Then we went up Los Angeles street to Larson's house, put him on the front porch, I tried with the doors, they were locked; asked him for the key, he made no answer; I stood here a while then went around to the back door, opened the screen of the back door, walked in and lit a match; it was kind of a kitchen, I was looking for his bedroom. I opened another door and it was kind of a hall; I opened another door and saw a bed here and lit a lamp; came out the same way went in. I tried first to bring him around myself, he was too heavy, and I asked Adams help me; he got hold of one side of him I the other, and we went around back, round through his house and laid him on his bed. He was trying to get up; I was holding him down with my hand on his breast, and some one put out the light. I don't know who; Adams was standing by me; the rest of the crowd was standing outside the door. I came out last; I shut three doors, the door the bedroom, the door you might call a hall and the outside door; we went around outside of the house and stood there a little. Marsen said come down where my rig is lodged and I will take you home. I said, all night; I came down to where the cart was hitched and said to Adams isn't it time to go bed? He said yes, it is pretty near time; will take a walk around and then go. Marsen said let us go around the other day. We drove around to the street Larson lives on; there we stopped, probably two minutes, listened, did not hear any noise, drove down Olive to my gate. Stopped there and talked a few minutes. I got out, stood on the sidewalk, turned, went down the sidewalk and in the back gate. Q.—Where did you go when you went in the yard of your house? A.—Into the back part of the house, stopped there a minute and went into my room. Q.—Go to bed then? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—How long were you there. A.—Did not get up until 9. Q.—Were you in your bedroom from the time Bancroft left you, all the time up to 9 clock the next morning? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—Are you Deputy Constable? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—How long have you been Deputy Constable? A.—One and one half years. There was no cross examination. Mrs. Armbutter testified that the man who ran by her house the night of the burlar was a large, fat man with a black hat. Adams' testimony had been that the burlar was an under-sized man with a white hat. By Mr. Melrose. Now, don't you think the large man with the black hat was nightwatchman Adams after the burglar? A.—Well, if I must say it, I think it was. Q.—Have you conversed with any one about the case? A.—Yes, sir; with Marshal Steadman and Nightwatchman Adams. Q.—Anyone else? A.—Yes, sir; with Jack Landell. Frank Armbutter testified that Adams had told him that he (Adams), in the presence of Marshal Steadman, had told him that he had not run by his house on the night of the burlar. Both Adams and Steadman testified that Number pupils enrolled: 317; average daily attendance: 32.475; number of visitors: 1; number cases of tardiness: 7. KATE POWER HOUR, Teacher.

Now, don't you think the large man with the black hat was rightwatchman Adams after the burglar? A. Well, if I must say it, I think it was. Q. Have you conversed with any one about the case? A. Yes, sir; with Marshal Steadman and Nightwatchman Adams. Q. Anyone else? A. Yes, sir; with Jack Landell. Frank Armbuster testified that Adams had told him that he (Adams), in the presence of Marshal Steadman, had told him that he had not run by his house on the night of the burglary. Both Adams and Steadman testified that this was not so. Marshal Steadman testified that he followed the burglar's footsteps with Adams from Larsen's house to Goldthwaite's, went to Goldthwaite's next morning and found him in bed; his shoes were all dirty as though he had gone through a plowed field; arrested him on the following day. Mrs. Goldthwaite, mother of the accused, testified that when she heard the shots she sent to her son's room and found him in bed. After argument by the attorneys Judge McCoy decided that while Goldthwaite might have been implicated in the burglary there was not sufficient evidence to convict. The features of the case which excite the most comment are that Justice McCoy failed to hold the defendant, Jack Landell's interview with Mrs. Armbuster, and the fact is reported, that Judge McCoy spent the evening before the trial at Judge Landell's office. This trial is the beginning of the end. The gang of burglaries who have infested this city for some time past must be arrested and punished. It transpires that two unpaid tailor bills which intervened to detain J. Hampton Hoge of Virginia, the new Consul to Amoy, at San Francisco on the eve of his embarkation for his post a few days ago, will also constitute his return to Washington to make an explanation to the President and the State Department. Just before Hoge left for San Francisco he went to a fashionable tailor and ordered several suits of clothes and left without settling for them. The matter was brought to the attention of President Cleveland, who is diplomatic enough to believe even an American Consul ought to pay promptly for his wearing apparel. While there are other charges pending against Hoge at the State Department, these are not regarded seriously, and it is semi-officially stated that when Hoge has made peace with his tailor he will be permitted to pursue his journey to Amoy.
