Allusion is made to the pernicious practice of morphine taking in lieu of smoking opium or as an antidote to the opium pipe. No reference is made to this habit in the series of questions which I have had the honour to consider; it may therefore be assumed that the Commissioners were not in possession of any information on the subject.

There is every reason to suppose that the practice of morphine injecting has been practically stamped out in this Colony, an ordinance having been introduced to effect that object. The Chinese are, however, still free to use morphine for ordinary internal purposes.

I respectfully submit that the morphine vice cannot reasonably be dissociated from the Opium question.
