"SUI AN" ENQUIRY.

WHAT THE C. S. P. THINES.

OTHER EVIDENUE.

Continuing his evidence yesterday before the "Sui An" piracy com- mission Mr. E. D. O. Wolfe, Captain Sapt. of Police substantialled his opinion as to the effectiveness of the Piracy regulations,

ABSOLUTELY EPPECTIVE. Mr. H. P., White asked whether the luggage was put in a separate root and locked, to which the reply was in the negative. Mr. Wolfe, pointed out that to soparato a Chineas from his luggage was a very difficult proceed iDg. You cronot," be said, "pait a Chinees woman from her luggage; it would take more than two police men." (Laughter.) Then thern would be combined rushes of passengers on the baggage room.

Hon. Mr. Messer: Are the Piracy Regulations any good? Can they stop piracy, and are they carried out! Witness: I consider that they are absolutely effective. The reason the "Sui An" was pirates, in my opinion, was because there was no search car ried out at Macs as there was at this end. I think, taking thom on the whole, the Regulations have shown that piracies can and have been -prevented.

Witness emphasized the fact that piracies had nearly always taken place on the inward journey, or after the boats had called at some other port alter leaving Hongkong. If, at the other and of the journey, the same search was conducted, then such a thing as piracy would be practically impossible.

Another member of the Chinese community at Marso had said openly Mr. Metuigen that the host would be pirated.

The Superintendent then proceeded to point out the difficulty of the grill. In ship caught fire or was wrecked, and if the grills were closed, then Mr. Wimble hundreds of passengers were caged in Mr. Nicholson and had to face almost certain death. Then, at the enquiry, the question. would be asked: Why were the grills closed?" If the grilla were left open to piracy, and the next question was, "Why were the grills open?"
