analogy of section 3 (2) of the Colonial Prisoners' Removal'

383

Act 1884 which provides that a prisoner when discharged at the

expiration of his sentence shall be entitled to be sent free of

cost to the British Possession from which he was removed: but

whether this is so or not, it is obvious that the Hongkong

Government would rather not be burdened with our criminals after

their release. From the point of view, however, of His Majesty's

service generally the question seams to be ought a time-

-sxpired pauper convict to be encouraged by getting a passage at

the public expense to return to a Chinese Port where His

Majesty's Courts and Consuls have not the means of dealing with

habitual criminals and where such persons are likely to

endanger our relations with the Chinese Government and people ?

In three recent cases where natives of

India were convicted of rape and sodomy this Court has added

to heavy sentences of imprisonment that if the convict returns

to China or Corea he shall be required to give security or be

deported. When the time comes the Hongkong Police might be able

to arrange with these men that they should return direct to

India instead of sending them to Shanghai to be deported

hence at much greater expense to the Government. It seems to me

that the solution of the difficulty will be found in the

assistance in such matters which the Hongkong Police could

render
