CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

Now directed to you, for the purpose of being laid before the Secretary for Colonial Affairs, the enclosed copy of a Report which has been received from Colonel Henderson on the subject.

Your obedient Servant,

Ellest.

424. Had been at M. Cose's.

I have read this suggestion since it is a report upon Corps Discipline, Col'. Henderson's remarks are very judicious and should, no doubt, be communicated to the Governor.

But with regard to the employment of marks as the means by which to measure the industry earned by Convicts, I think it necessary to observe that their successful employment must depend almost entirely upon the reliance which can be placed on the fairness and capability of the Subordinate officers in immediate contact with the Prisoner, and therefore that it will be necessary for H. S. Robinson to consider whether the men whose services as Warders can be commanded in a Colony such as Hong Kong, would be sufficiently trustworthy to admit of Employing the Mark System.

The 29th.

And to H. S. Robinson with the expression of this opinion & send copies to Labuan.
