that the Colony will be overrun with brothels unless they are at present confined to certain neighbourhoods, and that this will lead to a decrease in the number of Chinese families residing in the Colony.
I do not propose at the present time to discuss this question, as I can avail myself of the opportunity when at home to communicate my views if they are desired to the Authorities at the Colonial Office. I would however like to state that I think the views of the Chinese expressed in their representation are worthy of serious consideration. If His Excellency has no objection, I would suggest that this representation be forwarded to the Secretary of State, who might be informed that I shall be prepared, if wanted, to discuss the matter and to offer any explanations that may be required when I am in England.
