But the energies of His Excellency failed in proportion as the depredations of the out laws increased, until at the present day even European vessels, commanded by European olicers, are not exempt from the attacks of the murderous bands along the const. In an excellent speech, Mr. 1. K. Law, of Messrs.

Chamber of Commerce will, no doubt, give expression to its views and assist the re- form movement with the powerful backing which it can command; and it will only be necessary then for the Legislative Council to signify its sympathy and support by adopting a special resolution on the subject. If necessary, a special meeting of the Council might be convened so that all the forces of public and official opinion may be combined to convince the Foreign and Colonial Offices of the imperative need for immediate action.
