Flint of having set at defiance the Imperial edict. He and the supercargoes who had been summoned to the Yamfen were attacked and maltreated and compelled to perform the kotow.
Mr. Flint was detained in prison; and a special mis- sion to Canton to obtain his release having proved unsuccessful, a heavy bribe being refused, he was actually kept in confinement till the year 1762, when he returned to England.
The system of bribery and corruption, coupled with submission to gross indignities, contin...ued until, in 1 77 1, permission was accorded to foreigners to CHINA IN TRANSFORMATION reside at Canton during the winter, the business season. At this time the supercargoes gained a de- cisive victory over the Co-Hong, obtaining its disso- lution by means of a cumshaw of one hundred thou- sand taels, the contributions due to the authorities having fallen into arrears. Some ten years later the old institution was revived in another form by the creation of "Hong merchants" — native brokers who bore the title of "mandarin."
