Mr. Gregory,--To ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he is aware that a Native has been appointed a Member of the Council and Magistrate at Hong Kong, and that in the latter especially he exercises jurisdiction over Europeans as well as Natives.
for thursday 29th feb.
Mr. GRANT DUFF Yes, Sir. A native was appointed member of Council, under the orders of the late Secretary of State, as a temporary arrangement. We have no reason thus far to think that the experiment has been otherwise than successful. We have not heard officially that he is acting as police magistrate, but it is intended to ask the Governor for an explanation on that subject.
