Governor shall have power to close it and that all the land and buildings shall be forfeited to the Crown in the event of the Colonial Surgeon, Registrar General, and one other Officer deputed by the Governor reporting the place to be ill conducted and that it would be expedient to resume the land.

I do not trouble My Lordship with references to the numerous Memoranda and reports connected with this subject. As might be expected every movement of the kind is attended with considerable trouble and voluminous details, but I have only sought to convey to Your Lordship a clear understanding of the policy and necessity which call for the construction of some such building to meet certain Chinese special wants and prejudices, which are not provided for by the existing Civil Hospital as may be seen by last returns which shew the admissions of Europeans and Indians to the Civil Hospital to have been 934 against 223 Chinese. In other words whilst the Chinese population is from 15 to 18 times as great as the foreign, admissions of Chinese to the Hospital were less than one fourth of the whole.
120. Your Lordship may hence infer the large aggregate of misery, wretchedness and disease which must be either wholly or inadequately cared for in this City.
