With reference to paragraph 3
(2) of my Despatch No. 330 of the 7th. instant in which I
referred to remarks made in the debate on the Estimates
for 1911 concerning the prevalence of crime in the
Colony, I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that in
the beginning of June I had a conversation with the
Captain Superintendent of Police and Registrar-General
on the same subject. We agreed that in view of the in-
-crease of robberies with violence and the appearance of
a new feature of cases in which Chinese were kidnapped in
China brought to the Colony and held to ranson, recourse
should be had to banishment in order to clear out of the
Colony suspicious characters. At the same time a suggest-
-ion was made by Mr. Brewin that the Kai Fong, or Street
Committees organised to stop the dumping of dead bodies
in the streets, might assist the Police with information
