py IT tek five libel or memorials were

| presented: to the Emperor. His Majes-
ty received them, and calling together all

the Mandarines 'of his council into his

palace, he required them to take the pe-

titions, and examine them carefully.
They obeyed his commands, and were
agreed as to the truth of the facts, viz.
That Neo- Ebe- tʒu had carried away the
lady by force: and that Tieb- cbungu
was in her house to be nursed in his
Illness: but whether their behaviour
together afterwards was as pure and
unblemished | as was represented, they

could not determine. To this end

it was necessary to inquire of the Man-

mediately ah order was issued out

who accordingly arrived. The Em-
peror himself examined him. You
that were then Che- hien of that district,

indeed with regard to the regularity
of their marriage afterwards, he was not
able to pronounce about it, as it had

The ett Chou told a e
ths with respect to every thing that
past before, it might possibly be true;
but after having been twice married,
it was not credible that they had ob-
served so strict a chastity, as they would
insinuate. The Emperor agreed that
his remark was just. Then he issued
out an order for all the Mandarines
of the court to meet together at the
palace the next morn ning; and for Tieb-

treated her with tea, and ordered their

report to be carried to the Emperor.
His Majesty with great pleasure com-

five days and nights with her in her
house; she hath nevertheless kept her-
self pure and chaste. This hath been
proved beyond all dispute. I am rich,

a jewel in my empire. This is a rare

asked the Mandarines, if this were truc

mouth, Your Majesty hath examin-

judged and examined it myself, but

ing words at once so just and severe,
was struck with confusion and dismay,
and falling upon his knees, prostrated

The Emperor then called forth the

« As you, though lately made a doctor,
and newly promoted to your post, had
such regard to justice, and could resist
the temptation of so large a bribe:
and as you have been the instrument
of delivering Shuey-ping-/m from her
difficulties, and of restoring her to her
good fame; for so much care and pains
you deserve to be promoted higher.

Then his Majesty pronounced sen-
