On 14 September 1862, the Namamugi Incident occurred when a British merchant, Charles Lennox Richardson broke into Daimyo Procession, disregarding the warnings and eventually was killed by the armed retinue of Shimazu Hisamitsu, the father and regent of Shimazu Tadayoshi, the "daimyō" of the Satsuma Domain. Reportedly, Richardson had failed to yield for Shimazu's entourage while travelling on a road near Kawasaki, Kanagawa, and was subsequently killed under "Kiri-sute gomen" – the right for samurai to kill people of lower class for perceived disrespect. Richardson's death sparked outrage from Europeans for violating the extraterritoriality they enjoyed under terms of the Unequal treaties. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward St. John Neale, the British Chargé d'Affaires, demanded from the "Bakufu" (the central government of the Tokugawa Shogunate) an apology and a indemnity of £100,000 ($440,000 in Mexican silver dollars), representing roughly 1/3 of the total revenues of the "Bakufu" for one year. Neale kept threatening a naval bombardment of Edo, the Tokugawa capital city, if the payment was not made. Britain also demanded the Satsuma Domain arrest and put on trial the perpetrators of Richardson's death, and £25,000 compensation for the surviving victims and the relatives of Richardson.
