And Mr. Long Twang was appointed chief 56 PHOCE...EDINGS OF THE GOVERNMENT commissioner of police in the place of Commis- sioner Vin ; and lie built a new re^istiy office, whicli was twice as large as the old one, and he appointed double the number of writing clerks, and double the number of superinten- dants and overseers, and the government me- tropolitan police tax was doubled again. And it was in the twelfth year of the command of the government metropolitan police that Mr. Com- missioner Long Twang commenced the registry of the missiles of the people of Canton; and he made them register ail their missiles, both their pots and their pans of delph and iron, and all the cups and the saucers out of which they drank their tea ; and their stools, and their chairs, and their tables ; and the tiles and slates on their houses ; and the bricks and stones in their walls, and the stones in their streets.
