Office that he was dead. The Inspector of Markets states that he knew of the death,

and states that he considered Chii Kam-fong as the proper master of the land, Solfit-hine having been absent from the Colony for several years; and that as it has recently been the practice on granting a license to allow it to be issued in one surname only, he asked for authority to have Chii Kam-fong's name put on the license.

I have pointed out to the Inspector of Markets that he should have reported Sol Tik-hin's absence and death before applying to have his name taken off. I have also explained to him that his conduct could not fail to arouse suspicion, though I am ready to believe, in view of the excellent character that Inspector Orley has always borne, and of the zealous and efficient manner in which he has always discharged his duties, that he was acting bona fides, but with great want of discretion. I have also directed Inspector Orley that in future he must never enter the Registration Office on any pretext whatever, and that if he wishes to consult the Registers he must do so in this Office.
