THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH JUNE, 1869.
As Special Chairs are secured for a higher sum ($50) than Ordinary Chairs ($25), it is for the interest of the Public to engage only the former after gunfire.
Each Street-Chair carries a Number, and its two Coolies a Badge each, bearing the same Number as the Chair. The Numbers and Coolies' Badges of Special Chairs are WHITE, (1 to 200.)
The Numbers and Coolies' Badges of Ordinary Chairs are BLUE, (201 to 700.)
When ground of Complaint arises against any Street Chair-Coolie, the Person aggrieved may either hand the Offender over to the Police, or send a memorandum of the complaint and the Chair's Number to the Registrar General.
When Street Chair-Coolies are suspected of having retained missing property, the Number of their Chair should be sent
to the Registrar General at once without any loss of time.
Each Street-Chair carries on the back of its Number Board a Tariff of Fares condensed from the following.

Any persons who have in their possession old Registration Tickets belonging to Servants who have left or have been dismissed, are requested to send the same to this Office, with any remarks, on separate papers, they may wish to have recorded.
It would much tend to the more satisfactory working of the Registration of Domestic Servants, if Registration Tickets were in every case kept completely out of the possession of the Servants themselves. On the dismissal of a Servant his Ticket should be sent to this Office, unless it can be handed at once to his new Employer, and should on no account he confided to his own custody.
