The joint report of the former concludes with the statement: "Comigra to were if the not free Contract of Service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not seen satisfactorily to dispose of their opinion."

The report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, obtained through a trustworthy detective Sergeant of Police introduced into the crowd of Emigrants, is to the effect: that the majority of the emigrants have raised their passage money by mortgage on their property, while others have borrowed money, that they are to repay it at the rate of two dollars when they are able to afford it; it is added that these men are not under Contract, except so far as the repayment of the loans is concerned.

This report is equally satisfactory, though there is a loan, there is no Contract of Service to make the repayment binding.

Dr Eitel's opinion is that he is convinced that the vast majority of the Emigrants would, on strict examination, be found to be men utterly unable to pay the passage money themselves.
