sir,

In continuation of my Despatch No. 126 of

the 4th. of April, I have the honour to inform you that the

Chinese Emigration Ordinance No. 37 of 1901 was brought into

force as from the 1st. of June last, and I have the honour to

transit as requested in the 3rd. paragraph of your Despatch

No. 55 of the 27th. February last, copies of By● Laws made

thereunder.

fication

of 1907.

The registration and inspection of Board-

ing houses will entail considerable work in the Registrar-

General's Department and I have been obliged to authorise the

engagement of a Chinese clerk on the Temporary Establishment

at a salary of $480 per annum to assist in the work.

I have arranged that a Lance Sergeant of

Police shall be seconded from the Police Department to act as

an Inspector of Emigration Boarding Houses under the Registrar-

General.

This latter arrangement will cause no

additional expense, but no Officer of Police can be spared

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
