One additional piece of information appears – the fetish priest who identified the missionaries as the cause of the epidemic was called Kesewa). They say they have no wish to bring the matter before the courts, but ask the Governor to send a message to Begoro to admonish the people to let the missionaries finish their house. In reply there is a copy of two letters from Governor Freeling dated 24 March, one to the Okyenhene with a copy of the Begoro letter and a warninig that Atta is held responsible for the doings of his sub-chiefs, the other to the Begoro chief (Kwasi Antshi) warning against 'any interference with the missionaries or any unfriendliness shown to them' on penalty of a fine.

He gives a biography of one of the Asante pupils. His name was Ofusuhene, his father had been the Asante representative in Kwahu, and thus taken prisoner when Kwahu declared for the English in the 1869-74 war and despatched with all the other Asante captives to Akim for onward escort to the coast. The father was one of those beheaded, however, and that the son was one of a party whom an English official tried to return to Asante, their escort only took them in fact to the last Akim town, and they were in fact secretly re-captured by the Akims. The boy was given to the chief of the border village by the Okyenhene, who in turn sold him to a rich man of the village, and Ofusuhene spent his time carrying loads to and from the coast. He then heard that there was a place in Kibi where slave boys could flee without fear of recapture.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 09.02.1878 Proper date: 09.02.1878 Description An account of the resource Describes the difficulties when as many as 20 of the pupils claim to be sick in the morning. His picture is in fact one of pupils eager for the vacation to commence and not strongly motivated to do school work. 7 boys stayed in the charge of the Kibi station staff during the vacation - one was six-fingered, 3 were ex-slaves of Juabens. After the midyear vacation a number of boys did not return - one went to the Akropong Middle School, 4 simply left on the grounds they were getting too old to go to school - two were from Asuom. One of the latter has moved to live with his brother, a goldsmith in Akropong, and is attending school there as a day boy. Date also tells the Ofusuhene story (see Aasante’ report, No 240), with some additions information: Ofusuhene's father was called Koranteng - he was one of the chief captains of Kumasi, and had a reputation as an excellent settler of dispute and cases. The older boys at least were still making their own clothes.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.10.1877 Proper date: 08.10.1877 Description An account of the resource Contains information not only about the events in Kibi in September, but also a preaching journey in Akim in August. This covered 17 villages, its general direction (North West and North East of Kibi) was determined by news of places where there were converts though this was by no means all places. The three Tafo villages (Ati, Tafo and Osiem) were visited but appear not to have contained any converts. In Asunafo were 6 converts (all men and youths). Asante does not judge as zealous as those of nearby Abomesu (7 men and boys) who are leaded by one of the most notable men of the town. In Abomosu he was told by the converts that there are people in Aaiakwa and Saman who would announce themselves as catechumens if they had a teacher. Indeed in another part of the report Asante writes that the new catechist in Asiakwa has already some catechumens including an ex-fetish priest (Asante specifically writes in connection with the location of Abomosu and the normal way to Asante that the latter passes Asiakwa, Saman, Osino and Anyinam and leaves Abomosu to one side.) Due to heavy rains Asante was not able to visit Apinaman and Asaman where a catechist had already found that there were converts - 9 in the latter (6 having already lapsed out of an original group of 15) and 10 in the former. There are converts too in Asuom, Apapam and its 3 neighbouring villages. In this situation of great potential development Asante suggests that 3 experienced catechists should be posted to Abomosu, Asaman and Apinaman (perhaps ordained as deacons first) and to save money first put into rented accommodation in the actual villages until it can be seen more clearly what was to emerge. Over events in Kibi: Asante had forbidden the Christian teachers to write letters for Ata without his knowledge (they were, of course, Akims). When the Okyenhene heard this he sent messengers to his advocate on the Coast and these returned on the day before the assembly in which Asante was ordered to leave Akim. At the meeting on the 20th the elders of the towns already named were in the assembly, with the asafos (young team). In the manuscript he lists a series of 6 charges made against him by the Okyenhene the only one (not reflected in the printed version in the Heidenbote, 1878 pp9ff) being that Asante had accused him of common theft. The Friday between the formal assembly and banning of Asante, and the riot on the station was the Friday before the Adae festival. Ata had - at some stage in the few months previously or in the actual events of August and September, three times conveyed charges against D. Asante to 'the highest people on the coast'. At the end of the report Asante writes a commentary on some of the charges made by the king against him: concerning the charge that Asante had charged the king with theft, Asante had charged members of the king's household with theft of goat of his, which the king had had to take on himself. And Asante had struck three of the king’s ‘boys’ who had chased hens on the station one Sunday morning during the conducting of a service. Asante's report gives a somewhat more detailed account of the Akwapimhene's embassy to Kibi which hinged on the question why no representative of Akwapim had been present during the legal proceedings which led to the banning of Asante from Akim. When Ata returned from his visit to the Coast in the middle of August it was with the Governor's commission to disarm the Juabens in Akim.

Dieterle and Eisenschmid repeat the point about the bribing of witnesses by Ata and mention Sam. Gyima as having played a sad role. They say their problem is defending Asante without taking the whole court proceedings to question. They do not want to take David Asante out of Akim - he may have not acted always with the highest tact, but it would do the mission considerable harm to do so, and the Governor has appeared to act primarily with the objective of keeping the peace in mind. Buhl's subsript assesses the situation in Kibi from the side of the Okyenhene in an orthodox way, adding a point not overtly stated by other commentators that the building of large new stations in Begoro and Kwahu manned by Europeans has added to his hostility to the mission. People made too much of his appearing interested in becoming a Christian, too. Over the judgement in his case against Asante, Buck says that he has heard from the Governor himself that he wants to maintain political peace in the country at any price., and Buck urges the point that the accusations made by the Governor against Asante are exaggerated. It is no light thing, too that the Okyenhene must bear his own costs. Another attitude of the Governir is that you cannot expect so much tact and intelligence from an uneducated man like the Okyenhene as you should be able to expect from a man with the education of Asante. However, he believes that Asante has been too much involved with people and things to which a straightforward missionary calling would not lead him - the settling of disputes and other side-issues. This is not only his opinion - other missionaries who have stayed with Asante in Kibi have said the same thing.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 04.01.1878 Proper date: 04.01.1878 Description An account of the resource The letter is a commentary on the court action and the Governor's letter asking that he be moved from Kibi. Ata claimed Asante had written letters for people who wanted to accuse him before the English courts. Asante, states that he has never done this. He once gave a letter of recommendation to a Kibi Christian to the court interpreter in Accra, Jonathan Palmer. This man had been falsely punished and fined 2 ounces of gold dust. In the end the man did not press any charges against the Okyenhene. The king had accused Asante of tempting people out of his service with money. Asante replies that this is not true, and that there are indeed some people in the King's service still who are also Christians. The truth of the complaint about the teachers and letter writing was that Asante had required the king to go about obtaining their services through him. He had in fact won them to write letters which did not contain the truth by promising rewards, especially at issue was Ata's announcements about the contents of new English laws when he returned from the coast - these had been angled to gain him illegal advantages over his subjects. Though three men were imprisoned for the assault on Mrs Date, two chiefs who were also involved were let off.

This is done in order not to damage the Mission by a long-drawn out conflict with the British Government. They have informed the Governor, that they do not share his opinion of the case, and consider that the issue was judged on grounds of politics as it was in the court. They are certain that the Okyenhene bribed witnesses, but since their witness was sworn, they are powerless to act against this. They admit that the thought of the possibility of the withdrawal of the £100 p.a. donation from the English Government influenced them (proceedings involving the Wesleyan Mission offered a precedent for this possibility), but so did the thought that if they persisted with Asante in Kibi the Governments both in Cape Coast and London would begin to look on the mission with disfavour.
