DE. PHARME'S MEMORANDUM, Hon. R. SHEWAN also put the questions:- 1. Will the Government state whether they received a letter from the Secretary of the Sauitury Board sent by direction of the President, conveying the following resolution unanimously adopted at the meeting of property- owners at the Sanitary Board office on 18th May, convened by advertisements in European newspapers in the Colony, namely That the permission of li.

2. If so, bay any reply been sent thereto If not, why not?

4. Does the Government propose to print and eivenlate Dr. Pearse's report in terms of the resolution? Or is it trus, as rumoured, that the report has been withdrawn from circulation and that the information which has been placed
the sum claimed dogs not exceed that amount. After consideration and from the experience of the past the Government have come to the con- clusion that in the case of claims over 3200 the parties should be admitted to the privilege of a hearing in the Supreme Court in its Original or Summary Jardisdiction according to the amount involved, whers the advantage of legal assistance can readily be obtained. In proceed ing before n Magistrate in the New Territories the parties will also be at liberty if they please to rolain legal assistane, but as the amount involved in any such case will be necessarily small there will not be the same need for legal
assistance.
The COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded the motion, and tho Bill was rend a second time.

The contention is made that even in Channel. steamers, where length is also restricted owing o the limited dimensions of harbours, it has not been found necessary to adopt hollow lines. A factor in the pitching of the ship is the relation of the length of the ship to the length or period of the ware; and in the design of British crnisers attention is said to giren to
