questions regarding Opium consumption for the Royal Commission on Opium

Opium is commonly consumed by the Chinese in this Colony.

2 I believe about 8 to 10% of the adult male Population are habitual consumers. There is also a large proportion of those who occasionally indulge in the drug, but by women the drug is rarely used.

As far as I have observed, Opium has apparently no injurious effect morally & socially on its consumers.

4 In this Colony, Opium is consumed by the Chinese chiefly by smoking, & although I have known people eating the drug, I am not able to distinguish between the effects of each form.

5 The great majority are moderate consumers. During my 20 years residence in this Colony, I have not come across any "Opium slave."

6 Certainly, it is incorrect to say there is no moderation in the consumption of Opium. In my office, the "Clunie boys" had been in the habit of smoking Opium for 16/18 years, & do not seem any the worse for it.

He is a store keeper then about 5 years of age but apparently in good health.
