Thus it is clear that the wellement efforts of the Colonial Government for the removal of a species of temptation, which certain persons of weak or diseased minds appeared to find it im- possible to resist, have proved utterly fadle. But if the case of Kowloon City can be taken as an illustration of the inefficacy of the Chiness law against publie gambling when that law inter- feres with the squeezing privileges of officials, we have, on the other hand, an example even nearer our own doors of Low the law can be put in force, when the Chinese authorities decide that it is absolutely necessary to do so, The example referred to will be found in the Chinese village of Sam-sui-po, which is close to the frontier line. At the time the Viceroy, of Kwangtong was mo- morialised with regard to the Kowloon City halls, it was perfectly well known that there were public gambling-houses in Sam-sui-po, but their attractiveness for Hongkongites was not supposed in be sufficiently potent to make them dangerous.
