Our Court Interpreters

One of the greatest difficulties which Court Officials in the early days of the Colony encountered in pivil or criminal cases which the parties were Chinese was the ques- tion of interpretation, and such history of Hong Kong as we have with us to-day clearly reveals the inconvenience sometimes caused

through the want of efficient inter- preters. The work was usually en- trusted to some European with a knowledge of Chinese, and not as it is to-day, to Chinese with...” a knowledge of English. Whether it is easier for the Englishman to learn Chinese or for the Chinese to learn English I cannot say, but in view of the fact that so masy Chinese have learned to read and write English, there seenis to be soms indication that it is easier for the Chinese to learn English than vice versa. However, the inter- pretation difficulty is today very much diminished and the business
