that, when the Ordinance (CAN before this Council for a second reading), the Honorable James Whittall, seconded by the Chief Justice, moved that there should be further Legislation on the subject, and fuither to prevent Chinese Emigration from the Colony.
The argument was drawn from the abuses attendant on Emigration from Macao.
14. I pointed out the impolicy of disallowing Emigration on a legitimate footing from the only Port open for the purpose - the injustice both to the Chinese seeking employment and to Colonies requiring their labor - to attempt to stop the supply from here, because elsewhere irregularities were permitted which this Government was doing their utmost to prevent.
5. the futility of attempting to stop all Emigration by merely declining to pass an Ordinance, improving existing Legislation, whilst former Ordinances dealing with the same subject remained unrepealed; and lastly the want of power in the Council to prohibit Emigration hence, as it had already been permitted both by Imperial and local Legislatures, and had been made the subject of Public Notification.
10. As Mr. Whittall and the Chief Justice had expressed their approval of the enclosed memorandum, if there were to be Legislation on the subject, I therefore suggested that they should embody their views in a separate paper against Emigration generally.
