The proposal to 12823 that the subject of making

Lubuan a plan for Straits Convicts was along under

consideration, whether the convicts there also be

transported.

I can imagine that such a form of punishment was

distasteful to the Cantonese. I can, I think,

arrive at it under the Straits Prisoners Removal Act.

Js. 21/11

There is much to be said in favour of making

Labuan a penal settlement for Straits & Hong Kong.

I would proceed as the Governor of the Straits

proposes.
