The granting of Licences to Brokers is sug gested in the annexed letter from the Colonial Secretary, and the opinion of the Chamber asked as to the advisability of such, a course. The Committee are of opinion that a system of licen- sing would be desirable, but do not suggest any Government control over share transactions, as they consider that legislative measure cou'd nol With the view, of, if possible, finding some be inade applicable to the many ramifications of remedy for the present unsatisfactory position of general share business.

REVISION OF THE CHINESE EMIGRATION ACT, Papers drawn up. by a Special Commission containing suggestions as to the revision of the Chinese Emigration Act were laid before the Chamber for the consideration of the Committee. The Committee suggested the establishment of an Emigration Department distinct from the Harbour Master's Office, and a somewhat less complicated system of supervising the shipment of emigrants, pointing out that, la their opinion, if hampered with vexatious conditions the traffic would be driven into other channels, to the detriment of the trade of Hongkong.

A case involving the above question was brought to the notice of this Chamber by the London Chamber. The care, which is interest ing in its progressive stages, was that of the steamship Sara, tried before Mr. Justice Butt, who held that the Mster had a maritime lien on the vessel in priority to the mortgagees, and gave judgment in his favour, Mr. Justice Burt's decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal, but when the case was after wards carried to the House of Lords the judgment of the Court of Appeal was reversed. The difficulties certain to have arisen through this decision have subsequently been obviated by the passing of an Act on 26th August, 1889, to amend the Shipping Act of 1854. The amending Act confers upon the Master a maritime dien for disbursements properly made by him. (Appendix 7.)
