And yet His Excellency likens our local Par Per Morag, at 2.30 p.m., on Saturday,liament to thint at Westminster, and congratulates himself and the public upon this result. If Governor Hennessy has not done his best to nullify any spark of independence that ever showed itself in the Council, or even outside of it, then the history of the past four years of events in Hongkong has indeed been strangely misread. While the position of an unofficial rember of the Legisle- tive Council is one which ought to be highly honourable, it has, under the present regime, become a species of martyrdom. Those who dared legiti mately to exercise the right which Her Majesty had given them, were signalled out as objects of insult and annoyance, so much so that, even from commercia considerations, the retention of the posí tion was well-nighi an impossibility. And now we are told that “us a matter of fiet an unofficial member of the Le- gislative Council has exactly the same powers and privileges as a member și the House of Commons. We have nd doubt but this announcement will be read witli great interest and some ainuso ment by Messrs Lowcook and Keswick if not by the community generally who so lately expressed their feel ings to the latter gentleman in the form of a public memorial: Hie Excellency's lengthy address upon the penal system of the Colony, was but a repetition of what has already been said and we note that the Governor has dis creetly refrained from republishing the same is the Gazette. Practically, as we liave previously pointed out (Overland China Mail, Nov, 17, 1880), the change is very much less than the parade with which it is accompanied Public flog ging, and flogging on the back, are to be abolished by the Ordinance now rea
