(2) The Censorate reports to Us that a woman named Chang has commissioned an agent to carry an appeal to Peking in a case in which she alleges that her son and two others were murdered by a member of her husband's clan, The petitioner alleges that the Magistrate of Ming, who heard the case, made it out to be one of homicide though is was really deliberate murder, and asserts that the plaintiff was forcibly constrained to accept this decision, The statements now brought forward are quite at variance with the report received from the Governor of Kiangsi on the subject, and we command the latter to re-heat the case and pronounce an equitable sentence. Let the representative of the appellant be sent back m the usual way to Kiangsi for production at the new trial.
