in lieu of the fees payable to the Emigration Officer of Hongkong-

was

unanimously passed.

of

I beg to enclose herewith a copy of that Ordinance (No. 13 of 1872) and the report thereon by the Attorney General.

Your Lordship will observe

that the Ordinance has been passed without a suspending clause. This did not appear to be

necessary

as it is

purely

local in its operation, and was drawn, as I have stated, under Your Lordship's instructions.

Enclosure No. 3.

With reference to Mr. Hansell, I transmit a copy of a letter which I have received from him, by which Your Lordship will perceive that he proposes

to repay at an early date those fees which he had retained to his own use, and which amounted to $450. When that shall have been done he will have reaped no pecuniary benefit from the operation of the Ordinance.

The enclosed Return (Enclosure No. 2)

shows the amount of fees collected by the Emigration Officer.
