me during the last ten years may be laid on table, and I would also ask one of my two hon, friends opposite to give us some information on the subject.
Mr. Jas. Russell I am pleased to second the motion of my hon. friend, and should like also to ask that there be attached to the table he asks for a return showing the number of mendicants
before the magistrates, and the manner in which they have with-whether icy have been fined, or deported, or flogged and deported. I well recollect the statement made last year in the Council Chamber, and I thought it would have received contradiction or explanation from some member. The statement was that the magistrates had been in the habit of flogging mendicants. There was some explanation given afterwards by a member of the Council in a letter to the papers, but the fact ought to have been known that a Police Commission sat in 1878, and that a return made by Mr. Creagh and Mr. May to that Commission showing that no mendicant had been flogged since the beginning of 187, was submitted by the Government. A paper was also laid before the same Commission drawn up by Mr. Deane showing that mendicants had not been dealt with by the inagistrates at all up to 1871. Mr. Deane, a paper he addressed to the Under Secretary of State, which is published in the report of that Police Commission, said that one cause of the increase in the number of minor offences was that mendicants and other offenders of that class had been brought before the magistrates for the first time in 1871. If you look back at the Or- dinances, you will see that that was owing to the Registrar General being the person who had to deal with mendicants up to that date. The power did not actually exist with the magistrates to deal with mendicants, unless the person charged wished it, until 1962, when the Ma- gistrates Ordinance was passed, That. Or dinance, No. 6 of 1882, abolished the Petty Sessions Court and made provision for the ap- pointment of two Police Magistrates, each of whom had power to deal with misdemeanours punishable by imprisonment. Well, mendicancy was a unisdemeanour, because by the Ordinance for the Regulation of the Chinese Prople, section 23, mendicancy is forbidden. Consequently the magistrales under Ordinance 6 of 1862 would have been enabled to deal with it, but as the Ordinances stood, No. 8 of 1858, section 28, states that mendicants shall be brought before the Reg- istrar-General, if a Justice of the Peace, &c., so that as a matter of fact mendicants were taken before the Registrar-General, and as the law stood
F.
then, the Registrar-General had to report the cases to the Governor, who dealt with them by ordering the mendicants out of the colony. It therefore appears on the authority of Mr. Deane that up to 1871 the magistrates did not deal with
by flogging, or otherwise. As a mat mendicants ter of fact, the retams published by the Police Commission distinctly state that no flogging had been inflicted for mendicancy, and therefore no one could have put a stop to "the flogging system." Mr. P. Ryrie-I hope my hon. friend (Mr. D. Johnson) will excuse the remark
I am about to make. ffe attributed a portion of the decrease in crime to the action of the cruisers of the Chi nese Government. I have studied the, question of these cruisers for many years and bave heard a great deal about them, and a good many re- ports have been made about them. My firin impression is that if piracy has decreased it is in no way owing to the action of these cruisers. If it has decreased it is in the natural order of things dowing to the fact that so many steamers are
also the trade is not worth pursuing. It webported to me that a case of piracy took place recently near this Cotoners, and that the cruiser never even attempted to assist the junk attacked, although a police boat from Shaukivan pursued the pirates,
The Administrator-The cruisers have to deal with smugglers rather than with pirates, I think. The return which my hon. friend has asked for has already been prepared from the annual statements furnished by the Captain Superinten. dent of Police, and published in the Government Gazette. Perhaps (Mr. Johnson) the hon. mem- ber has not noticed it! 1 have not the slightest objection to lay it on the table if you wish it; but perhaps the best way would be to do what is done in all colonies, lay the Blue Book on the

notice of that, motion my boyfriend, the tour veyor-General, has very forwarded me an elaborate memorandum on the whole question, and I think I see from this that there has been some misunderstanding between the representative of the Dock Co. and the department which my hon. friend represents. Under these circum- stances, I think it unnecessary to call for these papers. The other papers, as to telegraphs, I wished produced because it is certain many per- sans have applied for permission to place wires on the Government poles, and they have been refused. To many others permission has been granted. The administration appears in this respect to have been somewhat eccentric, and I desired to call attention to it, but my hon. friend the Surveyor-General assures me the notice of the department has been directed to the ques

The Administrator-I would ask my hon. friend (Mfr. Johnson) what he intends to do with regard to the Tramways Ordinance.
Mr. Johnson-I now ask the Council to suspend No. 32 of the Standing Orders, which provides that any Bill affecting vested rights and Interests of property shall be published in the Government Gazette for not less than a month before the first reading. The Bill I propose to lay on the table is an amended Bill; but for convenience sake 1 propose to introduce it as a new Bill, and as the alterations are made on the suggestion of the Secretary of State and in the interest of the public, and are restrictive of the rights of the promoters, I think the Council will have no difficulty in suspending the Standing Order to enable me to move the first reading of the Bill..

The Administrator asked the Chief Justice he saw any objection to the proposition.
The Chief Justice-1 have not yet seen the Bill; but with the understanding that it does not interfere with vested riglits and interests of prop. erty further than the old ore, I see no objection, The Administrator remarked that the Bill did not interfere further than the old one with vested rights.
The motion was then put and carried.
Mr Johnson- now move the first reading of an Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong kong with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof for authorising the construction of certain trainways within the colony of Hongkong. The Ordinance as it stands is in manuscript, as there has not been time to get it put in type for this meeting. I therefore, if it passes the first readings propose e to get it printed as soon as possible, to place copies of it in the hands of the Clerk of Councils for circulation amongst members, and then, it as early a date as your Excellency will appoint, to move the second reading.

The Colonial Treasurer moved the second reading of the Bill to amend the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Ordinance (5 of 1866).
Mr. F. H. Johnson seconded. The consideration of this Bill was postponed until the next meeting of the Council.
THE VEHICLES ORDINANCE, The Colonial Treasurer, in moving the first reading of the Chairs and Vehicles Ordinance, stated that this Bill had been substituted for the Vehicles Ordinance which was read a first time at the last meeting of the Council. It vests the licensing power in the Superintendent of Police instead of the Registrar General, and gives the Governor in Council, power to make rules and regulations on the subject.
The Acting Colonial Secretary seconded, and the bill was read a first time.

CHARITY TO THE LIVING.
TO THR KITOR or the "HesukanG TREEGRATI" SIR,-A deep sadness came over me when I had finished the perusal of your leading article of last night's issue, and feelings naturally warni were excited to indignation at the heartless man- ner in which a poor man was put away from the sight of his fellow mortals. Of the very few
friends of pour Robert Kantwell (he spelled it so), not one was informed of itis sickness and death, and he probably passed to that "unscen land" without having a word with any kind spiritual adviser.
Mr Morrison said that he was much obliged for the suggestion, and would include in his mo tion a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Gwyther and the staff Mr. Gwyther had given great care and attention to the business, and had most ably
seconded the efforts of the directors. (Cheers,)
The motion was then put, and carried una- nimbusly.
The Chairman ;-On behalf of my colleagues and myself I have to thank you for your kind reception of us to-day. I need scarcely, say that we most cordially endorse what you have stated | in reference to Mr. Gwrther, our manager in London, and, indeed, in reference to our staff generally, we feel at a loss to express how much we are indebted to them.
Mr. Gwyther: I beg to thank you on behalf of myself and the staff at home and, abroad, and in doing so I would ask the shareholders to re- member that they by their influence can help the bank materially in its business, both in Eng
land and in the East."
The proceedings then terminated.

FOR MANILA (DIRECT),
in the last years of his melancholy and aimless career, he used to be very punctual in his atten- dance at religious gatherings, and gave evidence THE British Steamer from his liking to be there that soine good was in him-the desire to do right; but as has been said "he was his own worst enemy."
But complaints are of no avail; the community, and his own intimate friends in the Christian Association, would have seen that all was done that could be done to case him in his illness and respect him in his burial. However, their atten- Billion is now called to the fact that the living are in need, and Kantwell's daughter of 14, and his son Laurence of 10 years of age, are left quite destitute, though in care of the old native woman who acted as his housekerper. It was Kantwell's intention to get the girl into the Diocesan Home, and he was sending the boy, a bright little fellow, to the Central School.

THE VOLUNTEERS ORDINANCE. The Colonial Treasurer, on behalf of the At torney General, in moving the first reading of Bill to amend the Volunteers Ordinance No. 3 of 1863 said-One of the chief objects of this bill is to prevent any questions being raised as to the powers granted under the old Ordinance. It might be said that the power given by that Ordinance having been used it could not be used again, and it was the purpose of this Bill to avoid that possibility. It also gave powers to the commanding officer to swear in the mem- bers of the corps, which was not contained in the old Ordinance. It was convenient some tiines that the commanding officer should have the power.
The Acting Colonial Secretary seconded, and the Bill was read for the first time.
Now here is a case of real necessity, for these children are thoroughly innocent and helpless, and if snatched up by the harples of brothel mongers who infest the place, will be sold as slaves, right under the eyes of the authorities, and additional cause for shame be cast upon, all decent people.
