No. 115.
J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
The following Regulations for Street-Chairs and Chair-Coolies are published for general in- formation.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd October, 1869.
J. GARDINER AUSTIN,
Colonial Secretary.
No Street Chairs may ply for hire after midnight; they may, however, carry their fares as long as required.
Each Chair is secured for a sum of $50. Should articles of a higher value than this be lost in any Chair, there will be very little hope of their recovery through the Security,
When loss of property in any Street Chair is suspected, its number should be forwarded to the Registrar General at once without any loss of time.
When ground of complaint arises against any Street Chair-Coolie, the Person aggrieved may either hand the offender over to the Police, or send a Memorandum of the complaint and the Chair's Number to the Registrar General. It must however be remembered, that the Registrar General can inflict only a reprimand, but neither fine nor imprisonment without the testimony of an eye witness on oath.
This however may be supplied by any Chinese who witnessed the Offence, if accredited by a confirmatory note from his employer.
Persons who are inconvenienced by the congregating of Chairs near their premises should notify the Registrar General, who will, if practicable, establish a "Chair Stand" in the nearest convenient place, and as far as possible enforce the Ordinance in regard to it.
An attempt will be made to enforce the ordinary "Rule of the Road," along Queen's Road, more especially in the evening. It is requested that all Persons riding in Chairs or driving Vehicles will co-operate with the Police by observing the Rule of keeping the left side.
Each Street Chair carries on the back of its Number Board, a Tariff of Fares, condensed from the following:-
LEGALISED TARIFF OF FARES FOR CHAIRS, CHAIR BEARERS, AND BOATS, IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG.
CHAIRS, OR ORDINARY PULLAWAY BOATS.

The attention of Rate Payers is drawn to the Second Clause of Ordinance No. 9 of 1869, which Clause specifies that in Default in the Payment of Rates, such arrears may be sued for by the Colonial Treasurer in the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, and a Certificate under the hand of the Treasurer, setting forth the particulars of the sums due for Rates and then outstanding shall be "Prima facie evidence of the Facts certified by the Treasurer.
Rate Payers are therefore informed that all Rates in arrear after the 30th April, 1870, will be sued for in accordance with the Provisions of the Clause and Ordinance specified above.
FREDK. FORTH,
Colonial Treasury, Hongkong, 7th April, 1870.
NOTICE.
Colonial Treasurer.
Any persons who have in their possession old Registration Tickets belonging to Servants who have left or have been dismissed, are requested to send the same to this Office, with any remarks, on separate papers, they may wish to have recorded.
It would much tend to the more satisfactory working of the Registration of Domestic Servants, if Registration Tickets were in every case kept completely out of the possession of the Servants themselves. On the dismissal of a Servant his Ticket should be sent to this Office, unless it can be handed at once to his new Employer, and should on no account be confided to his own custody.
Registrar General's Office, Hongkong, 28th May, 1869.
