SUPPLEMENT TO THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE OF 14TH MAR., 1885. 235
18. Married destitutes are met with so seldom that it is not worth while to make any special rovision for them. When such a case presents itself, the only thing to do would be to get the Colonial rgeon or the Colonial Chaplain to find out, if possible, some decent people who would be willing to ke in the man and his wife for a little while on moderate terms till better arrangements could be made.
14. As a good many of the community here are interested in this subject, it might possibly be orth while to print this report as an appendix to the Gazette. Its public discussion can hardly fail
elicit some useful suggestions. Printed copies might then be circulated to
The Harbour Master or Acting Harbour Master,
The Captain Superintendent of Police,
The Superintendent of the Gaol,
A. G. WISE, Esq.,
N. J. EDE, Esq.,
D. R. CRAWFORD, Esq.,
The Treasurer,
who might be asked to constitute a Board for the further consideration of the subject and for report upon it. Such a Board should be able to suggest means to settle the question for some time to come.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
The Honourable
W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.
Colonial Secretary.
A. LISTER, Treasurer.
