The inference therefore is irresistible in favour of a change from the expensive penal establishments to one - a change which was more covert gives the Colony the benefit of the labour of its Convicts instead of wasting it on an Island where it was of not the slightest Public use. Above all, further experience proves that the present system is decreasing crime and adding to the general security of life and property.

In reference also to one peculiar feature of the system soberly I was enabled to keep down the number of Convicts, by deporting and branding those who petition for such clemency. Lord Carnarvon at the date of his Dispatch No. 25 of February last had not received my Despatch No. 18 of January 14 in which I went fully into that question. In addition to the observations therein made I would add that I respectfully think his Lordship somewhat misapprehends the extent to which Branding is viewed as an ignominious punishment by the Chinese community, and its effect in preventing them from obtaining employment afterwards.
