His Excellency: It obviously means an increase of
Staff, and we shall have to provide forms.
Mr. Maze: Te could avoid duplication, for we already get these manifests.
Sir Joseph Kemp: Do you get an Outward anifest? Hr. Maze: From China to Hong Kong?
Yes.
His Excellency: I think we could carry out this
clause in long Kong, but I want r. Lloyd to discuss
it with Mr. Johnston and Commander Hole.
I (i) That is the position today?
G
Commander Hole: The Arms Certificate is issued
by the Police.
We do not allow junks to carry
rifles. We issue arms only on certificates granted by the Captain Superintendent of Police. Mr. Maze: Do you allow junks to carry Cannons? Corunder Role: Muzzle-loaded; but we never
allow them to carry modern rifles.
His Excellency: Article II (a) will have to be amended according to Fr. Harris' idea, i.e.
wo shall not tax, but control the movement of
salt.
Kr. Haze: I think this clause was Sir
Richard Dans's idea.
