churches and cemeteries. The local authorities of the two
Governments shall select in concert the sites for the
foregoing objects, having due regard to the feelings of the
people in the location thereof; and the parties interested
will fix the rent by mutual agreement, the proprietors
on the one hand not demanding any exorbitant price,
nor the merchants on the other unreasonably insisting
on particular spots, but each conducting with justice and
moderation. And any desecration of said cemeteries by
subjects of China shall be severely punished according
to law.

Norwegian vessels, subjects of His Majesty the King of
Sweden and Norway, merchants, seamen or others
sojourning there, may pass and repass in the immediate

excursions into the country among the villages at large,
nor shall they repair to public marts for the purpose of
disposing of goods unlawfully and in fraud of the
revenue.

peace, the local Officers of Government at each of the
Five ports shall, in concert with the Consuls, define the
limits beyond which it shall not be lawful for subjects
of His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway to go.
