Mr. HAWETT: In moving the adoption of the repert and accounts, I osu hardly say I lave mach plensure in doing so, but very earnestly endorse all Sir Houry Berkeley's remarks with regard to the prewing need for a¦ larger number of subscribers to the society in Hongkong. It seems incredible, when we vans to Chink of it, that in a large wealthy pluce like Hongkong there are only 31 sub aeribers to the Benevolent Society. Probably this is on account of the annual subscription of $12, which a large sum of Europeans in Hongkong. I am right in supposing, and pitting it on record, that the society would be very gind to receive donations, however small froza those who are unable to subscribe $12.

The echomo, sir, has a twofold object. The it.

I must confess when I heard your remarks, Sir, I was taken somewhat in surprise I think, if a resolution is put forward, the samo as I understand in your remarks, that the result will undoubtedly be that we shall have this undesirable class dumped on our shores. If the proposal be merely a call for a guarnates fund to help deserving somen, I mest heartily support it. I think myself that the Merchant Shipping Act and Vagrant Act form safeguards against the undesirable people thrown on car shorea, I can rhesitatingly say that the number of cases of deserting seamen who come here is extremely small-possibly one in 1000.
