This last appears not to have been transmitted in Sir Arthur Kennedy's despatch I now enclose it for Your Lordship's information. It shows that of the great influx of 22,539 China from Canton only 15 criminal cases could be traced by the head of the Police between the 7th and 27th of September 1876.
Instead of them being a large proportion of Chinese vagabondism of the pestilential classes in this 22,539 arrival, the Gaol officials and the head of the Police could only trace an utterly insignificant proportion; and Your Lordship will see through the list even these fifteen are not, as a rule, very serious. Looking at the fifteen, eight were punished for not having a halter and these for being vagrants. So that the number of the predatory class traced to the 22,539 amounted only to eight; that is 6 were convicted of petty larceny, one of having counterfeit coin, and one of having unlawful possession of property.
