5:45 I now only remains to reconsider the Ordinance for Registrations, previous to final publication, and on this subject I shall have the honor to address Your Lordship specially, when I forward a copy of the same.
I may conclude this Despatch by saying that it is a much easier task to govern the twenty thousand Chinese inhabitants of this Colony than the few hundreds of English, who are not servants of Her Majesty's Government and that with the example of these English before them, it will be necessary to have a separate and very summary jurisdiction for the Chinese population.
I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect,
Your Lordship's, Most Obedient
Humble Servant,
Bonham
