THE SUMMONING OF CHINESE
ORDINANCE, 1809
The Hon. Goodman had given antice of motion in the following terms as to Oidinance No. 40 of 1889-
יו
Whereas by section of "The Summoning
of Chinese Ordinance, 1899 (No, 40 of 1899) it was enacted that the said Ordinance should only continue in operation for the perind of two years from the coming into operation of the said Ordinance and for such further perind or perinds as might, from time to time, be determined by Resolution of the Legislative Council, and whereas such operation bas heen continued by Resolution of this Council till the 30th day of March, 1902, inclusive). It is hereby resolved by this Council that "The Summoning of Chinese Ordinance. 18" shall be further continued in operation for the further period of two years from the 31st day of March, 1902, (inclusive).
He said-On the 28th December last this Council extended, the operation of that Or dinance for a period of three months in order that the report of the Registrar General might be considered and that time might be afforded for the full consideration as to whether the Ox. dinance was to be extended or not. The report of, the Registrar General was sent to the Secretary of State, and he forwarded a des patch saying he approved that it should be ex- tended for another two years front the 30th March inclusive. Under those circumstances
I move that the Ordinance be extended for the period mentioned. There has been no com plaint in the working of it; it has been very carefully conducted and will be so in the future, There is also a safeguard in its operation as it is under the direction of the Officer adminis- tering the Government for the time being.
received the following telegram from the Secretary of State viz "His Majesty's. Govern ment hope to see colonies represented at at Jubilee, coronation by local forces as 1897. If you concur His Majesty's govern ment will be prepared to receive from Hongkong any number not exceeding 75 of all arms. Selection left to yourself: Quarters for officers and quarters and free rations non-commissioned officers and provided for about one month from date of arrival.

When I received this.telegram 1 formed the opinion in my mind that if any contingent were sent from Hongkong certainly the honour should devolve on those like the Hongkong volunteers who give their time and their services; and, inderd, in many cases, their money free gratis to the Colony, but in all such matters I feel that I must come for the advice of these who are far more experienced than myself, and so I determined to consult the Exe cutive Council an the subject. Before doing so I was obliged to find out first whether there would ben possibility of a sufficient number of volunteers who would be ready and willing and able to go-to get leave. Well, I received an answer from the Officer Commanding the Hongkong Volunteers showing that there would ben sufficiency of men able, willing and desirous of going, and 1 then laid the matter before the Executive Council, and I am glad to say that they unanimously agreed that the

If this statement could be considered sufficient by employers of labour I should be glad because it would be a little difficult for me to send out a circular on the subject to all, employers of labour. There is one other point. Of course, am not able to lay before you today, I regret say, though I have endeavoured to do so, a statement of the total expenditure, but I am endeavouring to get it as soon as possibly can. There is also another thing. There were a certain number of officers, non-com missioned officers and men, as I say, a suff ciency of names put down of men hoping to be able to get away and willing to do so, But, in addition, thers is rather a large number of officers and men who will be in England or who anin England at this moment, who arg anxious to take part with their own unit in any

The Colonial Secretary said he had only one minute to bring before the Committee and that was one in which the Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of $7,500 in aid of the vote of $2,400, Watering Street," Sanitary Department. No doubt, he said, they would like to have some explanation for the increase in the vote, and he did not think he could give a better explana tion than the one contained in a letter from the Sanitary Boord. He proceeded to read the letter which showed that the previous vorė was exhausted and $7,500 was required to. meet the expenditure during the remaining portion of the current year. In explantation of the early expenditure of the original vote of $2,400, it was pointed out that that sum had been insufficient for several years past, but no addition was made. to it when

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
A EUROPEAN.
Before Mr. Hazeland this afternoon, Mr. R.
Collins, of the Cycle Dragon Bicycle Emporium, was charged with the attempted theft of one gold watch and chain, and a diamond ring, valued at 5900, the property of Ting Shui Mek, assistant comprador of the Mitsu Bussan Kaisha. It was alleged that on the night of 20th inst., Mr. Collins after dining at at the Grill Room, went with Tang Ship Mot and his brother to Lyndhurt Terrace. Sundry refreshments followed, which included eleven bottles of champagne,ands whilst drinking it is alleged that Mr. Collins asked for a very large diamond ring which the Comprador was wearing. This it seem was handed to him and he then asked for a gold watch and chain, which he saw the plaintiff possessed. This was also given him, and when Mr. Tane asked for them again, Mr. Collins is reported to have flatly denied having the ring, though he gave, back the watch and chain. As the ring was not forthcoming, Mr. Tang sent for the Police and had Mr. Collins artested. After a struggle with the European constable he was taken to the Central Police Station, where a close investigation showed that the missing ring
was in one of Mr. Collins' socks.
Mr. Harsion appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Wilkinson for the defence. The case was however adjourned till next Thursday week, bail being fixed at 85on.
