During its signing, one man was surprised at its brevity, prompting John Robert Morrison to ask Colonel Malcolm to make sure everything had been read. A codicil granted extraterritoriality and most favored nation status and was known as the Treaty of the Bogue. Signed on the (*) H.M.S Cornwallis, its signatories included Elepoo, Qiying, and Niujian for one side, and Sir Henry Pottinger for the other, though it would later be confirmed by the Daoguang Emperor and Queen Victoria.
