far as Foreign Ships the Legislature of the Colony are concerned-but the Straits Settlement ought at once to put a stop to it. The Hongkong Ordinance No. 8 of 1871 requires that Immigrants from that Colony to the Cuttlement should have in between decks 9 superficial cubical feet, and on deck 16 superficial feet per adult. This is not more than sufficient, even assuming that the great majority of the migrants pass their time on deck. [The Government of the Straits Settlements should, I think, be required to pass an Ordinance prohibiting any ship introducing Immigrants into that Colony from carrying a larger proportion to space than is allowed by the Hongkong Ordinance, and imposing a substantial fine for every immigrant carried above that number. This is the principle adopted in the United States Law to prevent the crowding of Emigrant Ships whose destination is the United States.]
It would also be desirable that no Ship should be allowed to land her Immigrants till they and the Ship had been inspected by the proper Officer of the Government. We presume that some precautions are now taken to ascertain that there is no infectious or contagious disease among the Emigrants, and the Officers who perform the necessary inspection for that purpose might be required also to ascertain the number carried and the capacity of the Ship.
