My Lord,
Government House,
Hongkong,3
31st.January,1906.
I have the honour to inform Your
Lordship that in connection with a case under Section 3 of
Ordinance No. 8 of 1887 in which three licensed chair
coolies were on the 29th. September last fined $3 each for
obstructing the free transit of passengers by persistent
solicitation of passengers at the entrance to the Canton
and Macao Steamers' Wharf in this city, a suggestion has
been put forward by the Solicitor to the defendants that a
Summary Court of Appeal should be constituted in this
Colony for the purpose of hearing appeals from Magistrates
decisions, such a court to be composed of three Justices of
the Peace who would sit once a month.
2.
On this proposal I obtained the
opinions of Mr. F. A. Hazeland, Second (but now Acting
First) Police Magistrate; Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown —
Solicitor; Sir Henry Berkeley, Attorney-General; Mr. T.-、
Sercombe
