THE CHINESE AND SANITATION.
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY FRESS."
28th May.. SIR,Some time ago a worthy momber of our Sanitary Board alleged that the principal Chinese in this Colory had not rondered any assistance in the suppression of plague. He was not justified in making such an allegation, which would only tend to increase the ill-feeling against our fellow colonists. As one of the Chinese representatives on the Board pointed out to him at the time, the principal Chinese had bean assisting the Government both publicly and privately in preventing the spread of the. dreadful disease: as far as that is concerned, so one worked more heartily than their elects on the committes of the Tang Wali Hospital.
In order to enlighten the Government on everything connected with the Chinese, and facilitate the carrying out of local laws. I understand they are already formed them- selves into a society, and raised a large sum of money amongst themselves to moat the coutingent expenses.
Regarding the dumping of dead bodies in pabile thoroughfares and the keeping back of plague cases, they have spent liberally in print ing circulars and ongaging medical students and district watement to go about, explaining the good intention of the Sanitary Board, and parsnading the cookie class to report the moment they know there is a case of plague amongst themtulves,
Langley coming to his assistance, finally took him into custody. Reynolds's thumb caused him soms pain, and had to be treated and bandaged.
The defendant was fined 50, or ten days' hard labour, on the first charge, and sentenced to two months' hard labour on the second.
