It is due to Sir Arthur Kennedy to say that he had found the Hongkong Police a very indifferent force; and that he left it vastly improved. Ho frequently expressed the opinion that its increased efficiency was mainly to be attributed to his having carried out Mr Hayllar's recommendation of recruit ing the bulk of the force with Chinese,

But the statistics for any one single year may be fallacious, and therefore I have reduced the annust averages for the last five years and the preceding five years, and here is the result. Annual average of five years from 1867 to 1871 inclusive, serions orimen, 1303; annual average of five years from 72 to 1876, serious crimes, 1351; total of offences of all kinds for the first five years 5718, against 7124 offences of all kinds during the five years from 1872 to discipline. What have been the number of prison offences during the last three years in Hongkong? They are recorded in the reports that have been despatched by air Arthur Kennedy to the Secretary of State. In 1874 there were 426, in 1875, 1,086, and in 1876, 2736. The past returns of Captain Donze also give the. exact number of cases brought before the Pollca Magla trates, and the number of prisoners con, You will perhaps be victed by them. surprised to learn, as I certainly was very much surprised to see, that the number of casen brought before the Police Magistrates amounted to over 10,000 in the year 1876, and the number of persona convleted to over 7,000. Now, gentlemen, after some small experience, 1 venture to aeanre you that, auch a state of affairs as I have just pointed out is without precedent in a Bri- tish Colony. How is this to be accounted for, The system of prison discipline is the system

Mr Hayllar expresses the opinion that In the report of the Gaol Committee the gulding principle upon which the prison is Chinese, who have earned their characters administered is laid out in thess words and undergone some disciplinary training in "Owing to the peculiar circumstances of the Police Force, who are in a position to this Colony and the fact that by far the offer security, and who would receive larger proportion of criminals in the sufficient salaries, fair play and reasonable gol are Chiness, whose language is little instruction in their new duties, would be known to those in charge of them, whose calculated to give a high degree of satisfao- characters and dispositions are imper-Lion as prison Turnkeys.

with the Chinese over all other com- petitors likely to seek the lower offices in the Gaol, the former are in my opinion, owing to their sober-minded ness, docility and sense of respon- sibility, better fitted for the work than the latter.' <Neither in the previous characters, habits, or discipline of mind of this class of foreigners, are, in my opinion, under ordinance of this Colouys to be found sufficient guarantees for the Governor in Council has power that fair dealing towards prisoners to introduce changes in the regulations of which should form so important a the Gaol, but he should prefer to lay the factor in the good management of a changes he contemplated before the Coun prison: and further, looking to the oil, and invite their declaton upon them. natural tastes of such men, their social The introduction of the separate system environments and the effects of would entail considerable expenditure, but climate, they are subject to temptations be considered it a change that was im quite as deleterione in degree, ifperative.

A very grave sentence for the Committee to pea. In every part of the Keltish Empire Her Majesty's Government have laid down what they believe to be sound principles for prison discipline; it has been said for years past that that system should con- sist of a due mixture of severe punishment and reformation. But the moment you assume that one ouly of these is to be soted upon, you at ones deviate from a well.. established principle. Again it is a rule lald down for every occasion by the Secre

But what do I find here? In January last no less than 68 prisoners in one month are branded and deported from Hongkong after having served one third only of their sentences.
