to be in a prosperous state.

In answer to Mr. Ambrose Farsons' slight objections in the shape of Protests, I have to remain on the ground that it appears to me quite unreasonable to leave to Lawyers only the Settlement of the cost at which the Law is to be administered, and that the interests of suitors, and of the Public in general must never be lost sight of by the Supreme authority.

That though the cost of living is high in the Colony of Hong Kong, the expenses of House Rent, Labour and provisions are not beyond their cost in England, erroneously averred by Mr Parsons.

32 That I submit that the Fees allowed to Barristers are very high indeed.
