We are deeply grieved at the receipt this morning of the news of the death of Wen Liv, Junior Vice-President of the Board of Punishments. In that capacity and that of Comptroller-General of the Imperial Household Department, the deceased official gained ourzrespect by his diligence in his duties. As a mark of special bounty he is to be given all the posthumous honours granted to a Vice-President of one of the Six Boards and his family given the proper financial help from the Government, while all black marks recorded against him in the official records are to be erased. His son and heir, Yen Huan, is hereby given the rank of a junior secretary of one of the Boards.
