Against this procedure the foreign residents protested that is, to the place of exe- cution. If they would execute the man, they must do it somewhere else. The flag was struck by order of the consul, and all the pr...eparations pushed down and tram- pled upon. A mob of Chinese were collected, and for a time there was a great tumult ; showers of stones were hurled against the doors and windows of the factories, and it was not until sunset that the mob was dispersed^ In March, 1839, there was an entire suspension of trade ; the foreigners were detained in Canton by the Chinese government ; all their native servants left them ; their supplies of food were cut of ; and, for a time, they knew not where the matter would end.
