minute of the Captain Superintendent of Police,

2

(Mr Deane), copy of which was y 19

25th Feby. 187 Feby.187

is also enclosed. In these circumstances I cannot but

think that it is desirable

that a distinction should

be maintained between these two classes of brothels. I have the honour to be, My Lord,

Your Lordship's Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

F. Fleming

Reming

Copy

Minute by

the

Acting Registrar General

Europeans and Chinese

are

mutually adverse to allowing brothels used by the one to be

frequented by the other, and that serious breaches of the peace would in all probability result from

throwing open the brothels to all

comers without distinction. I

cannot see that

any advantage could accrue from such action, which would probably lead to most unfortunate results.

Febry 24th/90.

Sd. M. G. Mitchell Innes.

Act. Reg. General.
