Mr Scott is the only person to my knowledge, who ever discovered such a prejudice; (if Registration be highly offensive to them and repugnant to their prejudices; yet Gibb 792 says that Chinamen "have not the slightest objection" to Registration) then must the laws of China be likewise so; for Registration rules will be found much more stringent than those enacted there.

No 3668, Sec 734 as to the object of Registration; No 3684; No 3689 "no person has been punished to my knowledge by corporal punishment for simply registration" This has been already proved incorrect - If Mr. Scott saw these they probably fell under sentence by the Supreme Court; whose hair is cut close/shaved by prison-regulations; and in such case on their way to the punishment of Flogging they could not have been taken to the flogging post; has not.
