The very last question and answer in the Blue Book containing Proceedings of the Committee of 1847 show that Brown, M.P., a merchant and member of the Committee, informed by the London Custom House Officers whence the Customs Officers derived their information, stated that Amoy was not a Free Port. This singular information is not mentioned.

Paingia ph 58-

It is quite true that an extra 16 Dollars is paid and was not contemplated by the Ordinance, but the coil is at present unavoidable and arises from the Harbour Master's perfect inability to measure Kuel.

Paragraph 64 - The Treadmill is necessary during the sweltering Summer, and the severity of convicts on the Posts has its ruin in a recent remark by one of the Magistrates, to counteract which steps are now being taken.

Paragraph 66 - I have some hope for Amoy copartnery for the management of Prisons and municipal matters - lunera Primeil. The new constitution of the Legislative Council will render such a man unnecessary.

Paragraph 73. Supremely that here the Port round the Island are meant, not the Ships of Her Majesty, which latter are remarkably well-bailled and efficient.
