the Chinese character, consequently when Chinese notices have to be written, they must be sent to Achike, the Interpreter in the Police Court, but he also has other duties to perform, which he naturally considers of paramount importance.

the Supreme Court,

Rule is inoperative.

a remedy for this state of things, I would propose that a Chinese Clerk should be appointed to the Supreme Court capable of acting

Interpreter on

ordinary occasions, (similar to the

one employed

be procured from the Morrison Education Society, and that the services of Mr. Caldwell, should be

retained for the interpretation of

viva voce evidence.
