SIR, have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Major General Gascoigne's despatch No. 320 of the 18th of July pa. the subject of a proposed European Reserva- tion near Kowloon.
The late Mr. Duncan Bowie is well known on the China Coast, and has been employed by most of the local steamship companys. He was a native of Scotland and a man of about 48 or 49 years of age. In 1899 he commanded the British lorcher Shing Lung and also at different periods several other native owned

NEW TERRITORIES TITLES ORDINANCE
The Hon. Sir ¡I. Spencer Berkeley moved the first tearing of a Bill entitled The Newpany, Territories Titles Ordinance.
The objects and reasons given are as follows: -its desirable to provide a system of Land Tenure for the ew Territories (exclusive of New Kowlona). In the rest of the Territories there are some quarter" of a million holdings often of a very low value. The transfer of these and their transmission by inheritance is go verned by custom of patriarchal origin. Society in general in the New Territories is not suited for the introduction of English Real Property Law. Every original holder of land is to be treated as a customary landholder, by way of charge, and its transmission by in Dealings with customary land by transfer or
heritance are regulated by means of a systein adapted from that known as "The Torrens System." Provision is made by which a cus tomary landholder desirous of obtaining a Crown Lease may da so upon the surrender to the Crown of his customary rights in the land to be leased. Persons taking up land from the. Crown in the New Territories may at their option become cust mary landholders or they. may obtain a Crown Lease and come under the general law of the Colony.
