Visa regard to the opening paragraphs of 12.

thought adriasble to share to the definition which agraon with
the Imperial Chinese Pammiɛæra 10%, 1800, from which he power o
this Government to legislate is to a considerable ertout derived;
and, as the point me regarded as one of no great consequence, no
szemei dupecat, vas mode.

and photographs of Uninoso wuen onr fed on board ships which are
not migrant sùips has not been givan effect to, for the reasons

practitioner. The clause was inserted to cover the ones of Chinese
who might qualify at the Hongkong University, and the appoźni tusenta
of a Chinese dector is in the discretion of the Covamor. There
is of course no re-son why Your Excellency's Government should not
have a strictor provision on this point in respect of imigration
