Thus the answer may be proved incorrect. A very small proportion of the provisions consumed are produced in the Colony; therefore the price of provisions in general must necessarily be dearer than at the place of production by the cost of carriage. But Beef is as cheap here as at Macao, and Mutton is cheaper than at either Macao or Canton.
This is quite a mistake; the Population in 1816 was 21,835 and in 1847 was 23,872.
Three of the Market licenses are for 5 years, not for 1 year; the fourth is for 1 year.
The Ordinance for licensing Serangs (No. 204 of 1845) was not enacted to prevent seamen from boarding where they choose; but to prevent persons from keeping houses for the express purpose of boarding seamen without the knowledge and recognition of Government.
No 2043. The See marriage is $3 not $50, as M. Matheson affirms.
There is no clergyman of the Church of England at Macao, unless the parties were married after the custom of the Country, which does not appear to be Mr. Matheson's meaning; they could not be legally married there.
So brats are required by the Registration Ordinance (No 7 of 1846).
