Government 15 APR 08
Hongkong, 16th. March, 1908.
Referring to Your Lordship's
Confidential Despatch of the 11th. September last, I have
the honour to forward for the signification of His
Majesty's pleasure an Ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to
amend the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889".
2.
The customary report of the
Attorney-General is annexed.
3.
I have interpreted the instruct-
-ions contained in the second paragraph of Your Lordship's
above quoted Despatch in the sense that no amendments were
to be introduced into the bill which should in any way
alter or affect the essential provisions of the principal
Ordinance with regard to the status and treatment of the
Chinese emigrant whether free or under contract. I have
however, assented to a number of minor amendments, for the
most part verbal, which I will explain in detail:-
