With felcence to the later, I am instructed to express the Committee's regret at the un avoidable delay that has taken place in the consideration of this measure, the importance of which and the possible consequences of certain of its clauses having necessitaled very searching inquiries.
am now directed to offer the subjoined observations on the Bill
-Section 2. The winding-of this section is somewhat obscure, and it provisions are open to grave objections, as they would, if enforced, render business in other than Bengal opium impracticable. Importen are obliged to open cases of Malwa, Persian, and Turkey drug, and give samples varying from 2 to 6 taels in weight according to quality, for the pur poses of boiling and testing before purchase. Malwa is divided into vailous grades, soft, bard, new and old of different qualities and values, and no sale can be effected without first giving intending buyers an opportunity of testing the drug to ascertain its value, which varies in some cases as much as $co per chest.
2.-Section 3, amending section 9 of Ordi nance 23, making provision for the establish ment of Bordest Warehouses. The opium
followed in Shanghai be adopted here, substitut ing, however, the merchant's godowns in Hong- kong for the hulls at the Treaty Port, the merchants giving similar bonds to that required in Shanghal and conforming to like regulations: to those in force there
3-Section 3. The Committee are of opinion that the second sentence of paragraph of this section should be omitted. They submit that it is wholly unnecessary, and, if retained would give the Opium Farmer, himself a large ex- perter, an unfair advantage over the merchants delay their ship-
by placing it in age fol
ments.
Mrs. Pastewsky gave her evidence in Ger man, Mr. Lammert acting as interpreter. She said that three or four Chinamen, who were working at the matshed near, heard her scream and must have seen all that took place, but they paid no attention.
Evidence was also given by Mr. - M. J. Alvares, who went to Mrs. "Pajewsky's assist- ance, and Inspector McLehnan.
Prisoner, who had no questions to ask, again said he was not guilty, as he was not in Hong. kung on the date in question.

count.

The other defect is coal consumption.
