In the spring of 1865 the Tycoon, in levying a tax on the Yeddomerchants, congratulated them on the fact that the portion of thecountry under his immediate control was exempt from the depredationsof lonins; but notwithstanding this statement, a robbery of the naturedescribed took place in the capital immediately after the issue of theTycoon's manifesto, and a lonin concerned in it gave as an excuse forhis conduct, that he had learnt that the money was intended forforeigners, who were settled in... the country in opposition to the lawsof Gongen Sama, which had never been revoked.
