the
peace of this community, from neighbouring Province of China. In particular, it is stated on reliable authority that several of the ringleaders of the late attack on the Europeans at Canton have taken refuge here.
It will be recollected that, at various periods, there has been much official correspondence respecting the operation of the law regulating the banishment, under certain circumstances, of criminals and others from this Colony. With the advice of the Executive Council, I have issued a Commission to inquire and report on this entire subject;
[L.S.] G. F. BOWEN.
Whereas it is expedient that Inquiry should be made as to the circumstances attending the past operation of the laws regulating the banishment of criminals and others from this Colony; and as to the principles upon which the provisions of Ordinance 8 of 1882 relating to banishment should be applied; and whereas such Inquiry can be conveniently conducted by a Commission: Now, therefore, I, Sir GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, do hereby appoint you the Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, Registrar General, the Honourable JAMES RUSSELL, Puisne Judge, and EDWARD JAMES ACKROYD, Esquire, Registrar of the Supreme Court, to be a Commission to make such Inquiry and to take evidence for the purpose, and to report to me the evidence and your opinion thereon; and I hereby charge all persons in the public service to assist you herein.
Given under my hand and the Public Seal of the Colony, this 27th day of November, 1883.
By Command,
J. H. STEWART-LOCKHART,
for the Colonial Secretary,
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most Obedient,
Humble Servant
