馬維翰，字墨麟，浙江海鹽人。 Ma Weihan, whose courtesy name was Molin, came from Haiyan in Zhejiang.

維翰分赴建昌道屬，具有條理，糧浮於田者必請減，逾年事竣。 Weihan was assigned to the Jianchang Circuit. His work was methodical, and wherever grain quotas exceeded actual land he requested reductions. Within a year the survey was complete.

御史吳濤在川東丈田不實，以維翰助之。 Censor Wu Tao had surveyed land falsely in eastern Sichuan, and Weihan was sent to assist him.

至則發其弊，遂以維翰代任。 When Weihan arrived, he exposed the abuses and was appointed to replace Wu Tao.

然維翰勇於任事，相度要害，改黎州千戶所設清溪縣。 Yet Weihan was bold in action. Surveying strategic points, he converted the Lizhou Guard thousand-household post into Qingxi County.

烏蒙苗亂，出師會剿，維翰治軍需，供糗糧芻茭，鑿雪通道，與廝卒同甘苦。 When the Wumeng Miao rebelled and troops were dispatched for joint suppression, Weihan managed military supplies, providing rations and fodder, cutting paths through snow, and sharing hardships with common soldiers.

維翰力陳營兵不戢及各廠病蠻狀，請罷廠撤兵，撫各番，止誅其魁。 Weihan strongly memorialized on undisciplined camp soldiers and the suffering of tribes at each mine, requesting that mines be abolished, troops withdrawn, each tribe pacified, and only the ringleaders executed.

旋被構，維翰揭部請解職赴質。 Soon he was framed. Weihan memorialized the ministry requesting dismissal so he could face trial.

維翰以手按冠抗聲曰：「奉旨不免冠！」 Weihan pressed his cap with his hand and cried out, "By imperial decree I need not remove my cap!"

維翰有幹局，甸尤能澤以儒效。 Weihan had a talent for practical administration; Dian especially enriched governance with Confucian learning.
