The Secretary of the Hongkong Goneral Chamber of Commerce informe as that Mr J. B. Sutter, Commercial Commissioner in the East, Government of the State of New South Wales, has forwarded a copy"of Regulation having referance to Silk Hand. kerchiefs imported to Australia, which rends as follows:-

To the doctor who was called in there seemed to be nothing for it but to recom- mond immediate dismissal.
