DESPATCH.

C.O. 47 5201

No. 5201 Governor. No. May 14 1904

(Subject.) Decrease in Lawlessness & crime

Last previous Paper. 03 428661

In the reports of 26 May, I have never heard of the stocks punishment being authorised in Hongkong, & cannot find any law on the subject.

I think it ought not to be allowed unless carefully guarded with some medical precaution & a time limit, since in the tropics it seems likely to result in sunstroke.

You are asked under what law authorises this punishment & point out that it...

WB & L(76)~16943-90002-11-6 Next subsequent Paper

(Minutes.) Express satisfaction.
