They know the police and courts punish or protect them. and that tb use of money enables them often to escape punishment. They have io ressect for oaths. (laze 104.) The courts of thongKong and China never rely on their oaths. I do not believe that one in a thousand of the clabned converts to Christianity respects or believes in it but as a means to obtain employment. They (coolies) often abscond from their contractors bringing them to BongKong. or when they may have bees stolen for the Pieru or Cuba trade by their contractors. I have often seen their contracts. Bai had them translated.
