EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY AND ACTING REGISTRAR GENERAL.

In compliance with His Excellency's instructions conveyed in his Minute of the 25th instant, the Acting Colonial Secretary and the Acting Registrar General met this morning, at 9 o'clock, at the Harbour Office, as arranged yesterday with the Emigration Officer.

When the Emigration Officer had satisfied himself, we asked such questions as we thought necessary. In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not.

Under these circumstances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.

FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.

JOIN GERRARD,
Acting Registrar General.

Hongkong, 26th April, 1881.

NOTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN AT AN EXAMINATION OF EMIGRANTS ON THE 26TH APRIL, 1881.

LAM CHIU-SAM (No. 657).—
I am a gardener. I am going to Cooktown. I have paid my own passage: $32. No relatives go with me. I have been a gardener in Shek-k'i. I have got no assistance from any one with my passage money. It is my own savings. I have never been abroad before. I have been in Hongkong 17 days, living in the “Tin-i-t'ong.” I have paid 50 cents for my board. I had about 26 taels when I left Shek-ki. I have been at Shek-k'i from birth. I earned about $3 a month. I am married and have two children.

WONG A-CHAN (No. 712).—My uncle wants me to go to Sydney. He lives there. I paid my own passage: that is, my mother gave me the money. I am going with a brother. There are four of us going from Pák-shek. This is the first time I have been abroad. I have to return no portion of my earnings to any one for my passage. I will send money to my mother. My uncle is a coolie in the On-cheung Hong in Sydney. I am going to dig gold. I was a coolie in a cuttle-fish shop in Pák-shek. I earned a dollar a month. I brought $45 with me to Hongkong. I have been 5 days here. I lived in the "I-on," Praya West, with friends. I paid nothing. I paid $42 for my passage to Sydney.
