10. Thus recent circumstances, which must form the subject of a separate Communication have drawn my attention not to the great amount of Physical wretchedness and extraordinary moral obtuseness if not actual depravity, which prevails amongst the Chinese in the treatment of their sick and dying.
These evils are not met by the maintenance of the existing civil Hospital, however well conducted that Institution may be, and I am not aware of any nobler or more natural purpose to which a portion of the funds in question could be devoted than that of assisting in founding an institution to alleviate the sufferings of the race by which ultimately that fund is created.
I think also that hereafter your Lordship may fitly consider whether a more extended system for diffusing the benefits of Education amongst the Chinese beyond the limit which the unaided means of the Colony permit might not also be a legitimate appropriation of the funds in question. I shall not however pursue this point further till I receive the Auditor General's report on the balance remaining of the Licence funds.
