THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH FEBRUARY, 1867.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

His Excellency The GOVERNOR has been pleased to appoint The Honorable WILLIAM H. RENNIE to act until further notice as Police Magistrate, in the room of J. C. WHYTE, Esquire, resigned.
By Order,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th February, 1867.
No. 17.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.
His Excellency SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL having reason to think, that many Chinese labor under a mistaken notion that they cannot apply direct to the Registrar General, who is also Protector of the Chinese, when they have any grievance to redress or petition to present, reminds them that the office of the Registrar General is always open to the Chinese, and that Officer is most ready and willing to forward petitions to the GOVERNOR and to hear statements made to him by Chinese. Neither the Registrar General nor the GOVERNOR will send replies to any communication not signed by the actual petitioner, nor will such replies be sent to any party but the petitioner himself. It is the wish of the GOVERNOR, as it is the interest also of the Chinese, that the latter should avail themselves, as far as possible, of the means afforded by Government, for enabling them to communicate directly with the Registrar General, and His Excellency hopes they will see the advantage of so doing.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd January, 1867.
