KAYINGCHAU, a place one hundred and seventy miles inland

from Swatow, the nearest Treaty Port. Having passed my

examination with "credit" I returned to Perak, and acted

as collector of Land Revenue, Kinta, for nearly two years,

when I was reported on by Mr Birch, the Resident, in his

annual report as "having a thorough grasp of land work".

The District Magistrate in his Annual Report for 1895 wrote:-

It is particularly satisfactory to report that despite several minor changes in the staff, excellent progress has been made in the working of this important department under the able con- trol of Mr E. A. Irving.

During the same period I was a Magist ate of

the Second Class, with powers I believe they have since

been reduced, of inflicting sentences of imprisonment with

hard labour for six months, and a correspondingly wide juris-

diction in civil cusos. But I sat on the bench only occa-

sionally. In 1896, I was appointed Warden of Mines, North,

and Assistant Protector of Chinese. In 1898, I was appoint-

ed Warden, Selangor, and acted as Warden for he, South of

Perak, that is for the largest alluvial tin field in the

world, where very important European and Chinose interests

are at stake. There was at the time a labour force of

about 40,000 coolies. A reference to the Mining Code will

shew how responsible were the judicial powers vested in the

Warden, exceeding those of an ordinary First Class Magistrate

which ex officio he was. I mad sat on the bench twice or

thrice a week for three years, and had, besides un important

criminal jurisdiction including the power of inflicting fines

up to $1000, a very wide jurisdiction in civil cases.
