-sary that Mr Percebois and I should discuss the matter together in order that the system to be adopted by the Imports & Exports Department should fit in with that already in use in the Colony, which experience had shown to be that best suited to the peculiar conditions prevailing, and the objects in view. These coditions and objects differed in many important points from those prevailing in China itself. We discussed the matter, and I took occasion to point out the reasons for the differeces in system, which he ap- -peared to appreciate, and I imagined that he acquiesced in my ideas on the subject. Shortly after this, I received a communi- -cation from Sir Henry May, directing me to permit Mr Percebois to inspect all branches of my Department, to see all books, and to be given every facility and assistance in obtaining full particulars of every detail of the Department, with a view to his reporting thereon to the Colonial Government. To this I very naturally de- -murred, considering it to be a reflection upon my conduct of the Department. I received no satisfaction from Sir Henry May, but finally saw H.

Nothing further was said about his extending his enquiries to any other branch of the Department, and, though he came to see me several times in my office about matters connected with junks, he never mentioned or suggested his connection with any other matter in the Harbour Department. When his report was made, and a copy of it sent to me, I discovered that he had not restricted his enquiries to the junk office, but bad visited every room in the office and demanded full information from the Chinese there employed, choosing for his visits the occasions when I was absent from the office performing my duties afloat, or elsewhere. The information he gathered from these sources, obtained as they were from young Chinese, flew to their work, as a rule, with but little knowledge of English, and of whose Chinese dialect Mr Percebois
